The collaboration is in place with the company’s global objective of providing 100 per cent emission-free rides by 2040.
As disclosed in the company’s official statement, the deployment will see electric four-wheelers onboarded onto the Uber platform across Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.
"Uber is committed to accelerating the shift to zero-emission mobility in India, and this partnership with Refex eVeelz is a significant step in that direction," said Aditya Kapoor, Head, of Supply and Electrification, Uber India and South Asia.
Kapoor added that the company would remain focused on removing barriers to EV adoption and driving the transition to a greener future through partnerships to build a sustainable future for the nation.
"This collaboration, in addition to our currently existing B2B as well as B2C operations with nearly 1,300 company-owned 4-wheeler EVs, will help us contribute to reducing urban carbon emissions and will also play a key role in achieving India's broader sustainability goals," Refex Group Chief of Staff Sachin Navtosh Jha said.
