Mobility Powerhouse Yulu Completes 2 Billion Km of Green Rides
Yulu, India’s leading shared EV platform, has announced that its electric vehicles have cumulatively covered 2 billion kilometres to date. Asserting its leadership of the shared electric mobility market in India, Yulu has achieved a green ride milestone that is significantly more than any other player in the industry.
Accelerated Growth in Hyperlocal Mobility
While the company took six years to achieve the 1-billion-kilometre mark, it went from 1 billion to 2 billion kilometres in just around 14 months. This rapid acceleration was driven by the strong demand for hyperlocal mobility solutions from the quick-commerce segment and new-age on-demand household services segments. The company’s purpose-built delivery EVs have revolutionised intracity logistics by making it technology-enabled, accessible, seamless, and affordable.
Today, Yulu is deeply embedded in the doorstep delivery ecosystem through partnerships with leading e-commerce and quick commerce platforms such as Zomato, Swiggy, Big Basket, Blinkit, Flipkart Minutes, Instamart, and Zepto.
Impact on Deliveries and the Gig Economy
Yulu’s scale has generated significant goodness for society, particularly through gig worker livelihood creation. The platform’s impact on logistics and workforce empowerment is substantial:
- Yulu riders have fulfilled over 400 million green doorstep deliveries.
- These deliveries support grocery, food, and emerging categories like on-demand house-help offered by platforms like Pronto, Snabbit, and Urban Company.
- Over 500,000 gig workers have been empowered by Yulu’s mobility platform so far.
- By dismantling barriers related to vehicle access and cost, Yulu helps gig workers unlock better opportunities and save 30-40% more money compared to traditional petrol vehicles.
- More than 1,000 women riders now use Yulu’s EVs to expand their work radius, commute more easily, and significantly increase their earning potential.
Environmental Sustainability and Future Expansion
Beyond economic empowerment, Yulu’s ability to support clean last-mile logistics makes it a valued ally for governments seeking to improve urban air quality, decongest roads, and attain sustainable growth. In the last seven years, the company has helped avoid 54 million kilogrammes of urban CO2 emissions. This success story reinforces its structural advantage arising from its 45,000-strong EV fleet, AI-powered mobility stack, and energy ecosystem via Yuma Energy.
Looking ahead to FY2027, Yulu aims to double its fleet size and enter several new cities through a mix of company-led and partner-led launches.
