Hero Electric said on Monday it will deliver over 1,000 e-scooters to Turtle Mobility. The reason for the delivery is the partnership between the two firms.

The government is targeting a complete switch of the delivery fleet used by e-commerce and last-mile mobility solution providers to electric for reduced emission, Hero Electric said. The company added it has partnered with numerous B2B startups to supply electric scooters to address the segment’s challenges. Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric said:

“We constantly strive to quicken the pace of transition to e-mobility and push forward the same through B2B partnerships to strengthen the EV ecosystem across India. This partnership is another step to boost the rapidly growing logistics and delivery industry and steer our commitment to carbon-free mobility by electrifying the segment.”

Kapil Gupta, Founder & Director at Turtle Mobility said that it will also help them to generate work opportunities for self-employed individuals in the informal sector by offering them a more affordable and easily accessible alternative to ICE vehicles.
