Uber Eats partners with Zoomo for new e-moped initiative

By / 6 months ago / Latest News / No Comments

Uber Eats has signed up Zoomo to make e-mopeds available for its couriers in London.

Zoomo is offering a discount for monthly and weekly e-moped rentals for couriers delivering for Uber Eats

The light electric vehicles (LEVs) are available on Zoomo’s product portfolio with a discount for monthly and weekly rentals for couriers delivering for Uber Eats, alongside a comprehensive servicing and on-the-road guarantee.

The partnership follows Uber’s commitment earlier this year to make 100% of food delivery trips in major European cities emission-free by 2030 and globally by 2040.

It also supports Zoomo’s mission of transitioning urban miles to light electric vehicles, while enhancing courier access to efficient and affordable transportation.

Transportation remains the largest emitting sector of carbon emissions in the UK and the arrival of e-mopeds provides a viable, greener alternative to the many petrol mopeds used for food delivery.

Nicolas de Juniac, UK general manager at Zoomo, said: “We admire Uber’s commitments to reduce the carbon footprint of food delivery trips. By joining forces with Uber Eats to enhance courier access to E-mopeds, we’re not only taking significant strides toward a greener delivery landscape but also setting the stage for a more sustainable and efficient industry – and this is just the beginning.

“We’re excited to work closely with Uber Eats, growing our partnership and leading the charge toward a brighter, eco-conscious future, all while empowering valued couriers. It’s a win-win-win partnership: for the environment, for our riders, and for Zoomo.”
