Amazon ties up with Mahindra to deploy 10,000 EVs in India

E-commerce giant Amazon India has announced its partnership with Mahindra Electric to further strengthen its commitment towards electric mobility in the country. The company is planning to deploy 10,000 of Mahindra's electric three-wheeler Treo Zor in the country by 2025. So far, around a hundred of them have already been pressed into service in seven cities in the country like New Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

These 10,000 vehicles are over and above Amazon's global commitment of 100,000 electric vehicles in the delivery fleet by 2030 that was announced in the Climate Pledge in 2019. The partnership with Mahindra Electric is an important step towards India's progress in the e-mobility industry to achieve its environmental sustainability goals.

Significant progress in the Indian e-mobility industry in the last few years has led to advanced technology, and superior motor and battery components. In addition, the government's focus to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in the country with awareness campaigns such as 'Go Electric', and steps towards setting up of charging infrastructure with the FAME 2 policy has helped the company accelerate and chart its vision for EVs in India.
