Deliveroo UAE has announced it is launching an electric bike pilot in collaboration with EEE Moto and EcoWay.
This pilot will run for a month, beginning on June 10 2024, and aims to test electric bike performance and battery-swapping technology solutions in real-world delivery scenarios.
The battery-swapping stations will be strategically placed within Deliveroo HOP sites alongside restaurant partners such as My Govindas and Jeff Darbar.
Raushan Uttamchandani, Founder & CEO at EEE Moto, outlined that its electric motorcycles and battery swapping technology have been “purpose-built” for operations in the UAE.
“We’re proud to be partnering with Deliveroo and are confident that this pilot will demonstrate the benefits of working with our electric mobility solution and its viability for adoption across the last mile delivery sector in the UAE.”
The stations will also be integrated into the network of partner third-party logistics agencies, King Riders, MJQ, and Syed Asmar, as well as being accessible at EEE Moto and EcoWay’s dedicated battery-swapping station facilities.
Yazan Aburaqabeh, Director of Operations at Deliveroo Middle East, commented: “At Deliveroo, we are constantly seeking ways to leverage technology and build strategic partnerships that support our mission to reduce our environmental impact. Collaborating with EEE Moto and EcoWay to launch this EV bike pilot is a significant step towards a greener future for delivery services in Dubai.”
Ivan Kroshnyi, Founder of EcoWay, added: “At EcoWay our mission is to promote sustainable mobility solutions. Partnering with Deliveroo aligns perfectly with our vision of a greener, cleaner future. We are excited to see the positive impact this pilot will have on Dubai’s constantly evolving delivery ecosystem.”
