Striding towards a greener and more sustainable future, Yulu, India’s largest shared electric vehicle (EV) mobility technology company, has announced a groundbreaking achievement – powering 100 million green deliveries across the nation. With a fleet of 30,000 EVs on the roads of major cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai (including Navi Mumbai), Delhi, and Gurugram, Yulu has become the preferred EV brand for hyperlocal deliveries in these metropolitan areas.
As urban India witnesses a rapid surge in e-commerce and quick-commerce services, the last-mile delivery segment accounts for a substantial portion of emissions related to e-commerce deliveries. Yulu’s clean last-mile delivery solutions are actively accelerating the decarbonisation of this sector and enabling delivery brands to swiftly achieve their sustainability goals.
In a relatively short span of time, Yulu has made significant inroads in the delivery sector with its purpose-built delivery EVs, designed to prioritise safety, convenience, and higher earnings for delivery partners. This success can be attributed to Yulu’s IoT-powered vehicle hardware, AI-based fleet management system, robust on-ground operations, and industry-first pricing features like kilometre-based rental plans.
Yulu’s innovative solutions have garnered the trust of leading delivery-based businesses such as Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Blinkit, and others, assisting them in meeting their fleet electrification goals, easily acquiring new riders who do not own vehicles, growing operations at scale, and improving efficiency through higher rider uptime. This has solidified Yulu’s position as the country’s leading delivery EV, powering an astounding four deliveries every second in its operational markets.
Amit Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of Yulu, expressed his delight at reaching this milestone, stating, “The completion of 100 million green deliveries is a joyous moment, not only for You but for all our stakeholders – riders, citizens, authorities, customers, and delivery companies. Making mobility better every day is a stated business principle at Yulu, and it translates into cleaner and more liveable cities. The latest milestone gets us closer to that goal.”
Gupta further highlighted the positive impact Yulu has had on delivery partners, enabling 30-40% higher savings compared to petrol vehicles and supporting countless sustainable livelihoods across the country. He also expressed gratitude to Yulu’s stakeholders and investors for embracing their reliable and cutting-edge EV platform, assuring them of continuous innovation to cater to the ever-changing needs of cities.
To date, Yulu has prevented over 25 million kilograms of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to reducing the carbon footprint of urban transportation. The company’s high accessibility factor, which allows riders to operate without a driver’s licence, has unlocked employment and earning opportunities for aspiring gig workers. Since its inception, Yulu has enabled tens of thousands of delivery executives to secure work opportunities and maximise their incomes.
