TVS Motor Company and Zomato have joined forces. This collaboration aims to enhance last-mile mobility for food delivery purposes. Under the agreement signed on June 28, 2023, Zomato received 50 TVS iQube electric scooters in Hyderabad. Thus, marking the beginning of a larger delivery of over 10,000 e-scooters over the next two years. This collaboration aims to reduce Zomato’s carbon footprint and promote environmentally friendly food delivery.

Additionally, TVS will also provide charging stations and digital integration for efficient delivery. The partnership covers various aspects. This includes product development, charging infrastructure, sustainability goals, and digital integration. This pretty much aligns with TVS Motor Company’s commitment to green and sustainable mobility solutions.

Zomato is the first food delivery platform to join the Climate Group’s EV100 Campaign. This move further reinforces its goal of achieving 100 per cent electric vehicle adoption by 2030.

What Is The TVS iQube?

TVS iQube is a popular electric scooter in India. It has achieved significant sales since its launch in January 2020. With over 100,000 units sold to date. Customers can have the scooter in two variants, Standard and S. It features a 3.04 kWh lithium-ion battery that provides a range of 140-145 km on a single charge. In terms of performance, the scooter accelerates from 0-40 km/h in just 4.2 seconds.

With a top speed of 82 km/h, the TVS iQube competes with other electric scooters models like Bajaj Chetak, Ola S1 Pro, and Ather 450X. With the rise in demand for EVs in the market, electric scooters have become pretty much prevalent. Gone are those when spotting an EV was a sight to behold. These days, spotting an EV is as common as normal ICE scooters, at least that is the case in metro cities.
