By implementing the three Es, ETO Motors aims to reduce carbon footprints while simultaneously creating career opportunities, stability, and entrepreneurial pathways for unemployed youth. Their efforts include running an all-women fleet for Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Kevadia (Statue of Unity).
