ETO Motors, a pioneer in Electric Mobility as a Service (eMaaS), has been awarded a contract to deploy and manage a fleet of five hundred Electric 3-Wheelers (e3Ws) in Uttar Pradesh. The Letter of Award (LoA) given by the Government of Uttar Pradesh has given ETO Motors the responsibility to deploy these Electric 3-Wheelers in the cities of Lucknow, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Agra, Mathura and Gorakhpur.
Notably, ETO Motors has received authorization to initiate the deployment with a special focus on Ayodhya, coinciding with the historic inauguration of the Temple. The strategic launch in Ayodhya aims to facilitate devotees visiting the sacred site, marking a momentous beginning for the integration of electric mobility into cultural and religious events.
This strategic launch in Ayodhya is more than a mere infrastructural development; it is a harmonious blend of technological progress and cultural reverence. By introducing e3Ws to ferry devotees and facilitate connectivity, ETO Motors is honouring Ayodhya’s historical significance while steering the city towards a sustainable future. The e3Ws symbolize a commitment to preserving the city’s sanctity by reducing pollution and maintaining its pristine environment.
ETO Motors, through this initiative, seeks to contribute to the environmental sustainability of these cities while providing efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions. As Ayodhya embraces the electric 3-Wheelers during this auspicious occasion, it symbolizes a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and technological advancement, setting the stage for a cleaner and greener future in urban transportation across Uttar Pradesh.
Dr. Karthik S. Ponnapula, Director, ETO Motors, emphasizes the transformative impact of this initiative when he says, “We stand at the crossroads of history, integrating modern clean energy solutions with Ayodhya’s timeless spirit. Our e3Ws are not just vehicles but carriers of change, driving economic growth and social empowerment while upholding our commitment to environmental stewardship.”
ETO Motors is also partnering with UBER to create a sustainable and efficient electric mobility solution for urban transportation. By combining ETO Motors’ expertise in electric vehicle technology with Uber’s extensive network and innovative ride-sharing platform, the partnership aims to revolutionize the way people move around cities.
Shiva Shailendran, Director, Supply Operations, Uber India and South Asia said, “We are thrilled to partner with ETO Motors to bring EV Autorickshaws to the temple city of Ayodhya. As the city gears up to become one of the popular tourist destinations, we are committed to making the commute of tourists and locals hassle free. This partnership is in line with our commitment to offering sustainable, shared mobility options to our riders across the country.“
