Uber Eats strikes deal with Zoomo for new e-moped initiative

Zoomo has partnered with online food delivery company Uber Eats to drive greater accessibility of light electric vehicles for couriers in London.

The new partnership will see e-mopeds added to Zoomo’s product portfolio with a discount offered for monthly and weekly rentals. 

The announcement follows Uber Eats’ commitment to make 100% of food delivery trips emission-free worldwide by 2040, with a 2030 target for major European cities.

Concurrently, the partnership also supports Zoomo's mission of transitioning urban miles to light electric vehicles, while enhancing courier access to efficient and affordable transportation.

To help tackle the emissions generated by food delivery, couriers who use Uber Eats will receive a discount on the rental cost of high-quality e-mopeds in the initial month of sign-up at £149 (including insurance) via Zoomo. 

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.”

Matthew Price, Uber Eats general manager of UK, Ireland and Northern Europe, added: “I am delighted to be expanding our partnership with Zoomo to offer high-performance e-mopeds to couriers in London.

“It is our goal to be emission free in London by 2030 and globally by 2040, and with this partnership we are moving towards that goal.”
