UN Mobility on Monday said it has entered into a collaboration with Zomato to power 50,000 electric 2-wheelers across the country over the next 24 months.

The EV company, which will use its battery swap solutions for last-mile deliveries, announced the collaboration in Delhi, with an initial fleet deployment.

"By deploying 50,000 electric two-wheelers in Zomato's fleet, we are reducing our carbon footprint by 5,000 MT/month and contributing to a cleaner environment," SUN Mobility CEO Anant Badjatya said.

The decision is in line with Zomato's commitment to "The Climate Group's EV100 initiative, which implies 100% EV adoption by 2030," as well as SUN Mobility's mission to electrify last-mile deliveries in India.

"Our associations in the past and now with SUN Mobility to swap batteries will accelerate the transition to EV-based deliveries, further helping us keep our promise of a sustainable Zomato," said Mohit Sardana, COO, Food Delivery.

The swappable battery technology will allow last-mile delivery partners to easily and quickly exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones at the SUN Mobility Swap Point.

According to the companies, this will reduce downtime for recharging, increase the efficiency of last-mile delivery operations, and contribute to a cleaner environment by lowering emissions.

SUN Mobility is a 2017 joint venture between SUN Group and Maini Group.

SUN Mobility has deployed 358 Swap Points in 18 cities to date, powering over 80 million kms and over 4.2 million swaps in the country so far.
