Uber South Africa engages e-mobility partners, as it paves the way to deploy electric vehicles for its delivery and e-hailing business next year.
Uber South Africa is paving the way to execute its electric vehicle strategy for its delivery and e-hailing business.
Molewa explains: “The future is e-mobility, and as Uber we are absolutely certain about that. If you look at Uber globally, we have a metric – we are looking at having 10% to 15% of our modalities globally be electric by 2027. In South Africa, EVs are a very nascent technology at the moment, but there are a few interesting plans happening.
“In Cape Town, we have partnered with Valternative Energy, which is supplying us with electric scooters and helping us with emission-free package delivery services. In SA, the company has been at loggerheads with its drivers and operators, who have been working to draw government’s attention to the importance of establishing a policy framework that will help alleviate the challenges faced by the local e-hailing sector.
