Uber has ‘gone green’ with an option for fully electric cars – with 50 on the roads in London by the end of September.
Uber plans to introduce electric cars to at least one more UK city this autumn – and if the trial works out, Uber expects to have hundreds of fully electric vehicles running on its app next year.
Jo Bertram, regional general manager of Uber in the UK, said: ‘People already associate Uber with hybrid cars, but we now want to go a big step further with fully electric cars on the road from today.
‘We are determined to use technology to help tackle the challenge of air pollution in London and across the UK.
More than 60% of Uber journey miles in London already take place in hybrid cars, and the car-sharing service UberPOOL which launched in the city last year has saved more than 98,000 litres of petrol.
