Gogoro is working with Zypp Electric to accelerate the electrification of logistics fleets and last mile deliveries in India using Gogoro’s battery swapping system and Zypp Electric’s EV-as-a-Service platform.
The two companies will launch a pilot in Delhi in December 2022, in which multiple fleet operators will gain access to the Gogoro two-wheel battery swapping network, which offers interoperable battery swapping for lightweight urban vehicles.
Horace Luke, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gogoro said:We are seeing an incredible global transformation of urban transportation and energy systems to smarter, cleaner, and safer electric power, and there is nowhere it will benefit more than India. With more than 350 million battery swaps to date, Gogoro is introducing its advanced battery swapping platform in India to establish a new generation of electric two-wheel transportation that is proven, safe, and reliable.
Today, we are announcing a strategic partnership with Zypp Electric, India’s leading EV-as-a-Service platform, to launch a B2B pilot in Delhi that will enable last mile delivery fleets to begin to adopt sustainable energy and transform their businesses for the future using Gogoro battery swapping.
Gogoro’s launch into India aligns with the government’s current approach to establishing new standards and requirements for electric vehicles and batteries.
It also supports the ‘Shoonya — Zero-Pollution Mobility‘ campaign that promotes the use of EVs for urban deliveries and ride-hailing.
Akash Gupta, CEO and Co-founder of Zypp Electric said:Climate change & rising pollution are a major global concern and many world leaders are committed to bringing a change with revolutionary measures that perfectly align with our vision at Zypp Electric. We are super excited to partner with Gogoro, a like-minded global EV player stepping into the Indian market and decarbonising Indian last-mile deliveries with Gogoro’s state-of-the-art battery swapping platform that is proven at scale to be safe, easy for riders to use, easy to deploy in cities and open to all businesses.
We expect this partnership to set an example for how a network of battery swapping stations and EVs which will create a robust EV ecosystem towards solving the last mile problem efficiently across the country.
This move adds to Gogoro’s ongoing expansion across Asia, which has also included launches in countries such as China and Singapore.
