SUN Mobility has partnered with Bluwheelz, an EV startup for battery swapping solutions based on Battery-as-a-service and Mobility-as-a-service. Over the next 12 months, the companies will deploy over 15,000 electric two-wheeler vehicles and 1,000 electric three-wheelers in all metropolitan cities. SUN Mobility also plans to retrofit BluWheelz's existing 4-wheeler loader fleet into electric. It plans to retrofit 1,000 over the next 12 months.
A press release from the company said that the deployment in Delhi has already started, with almost 500 vehicles on the roads. Shortly, the operations would start in cities in Bangalore and Hyderabad. The goal is to reduce emissions, alleviate congestion, and enhance last-mile connectivity in urban areas. SUN Mobility has a network of around 600 swap stations across the country, and with this, Bluwheelz customers will benefit from a seamless and convenient battery-swapping experience. Anant Badjatya, CEO, SUN Mobility, said, 'Our collaboration with Bluwheelz is a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionise urban mobility. We are now doing more than one million swaps every month and with partners like Bluwheelz we will empower more people to choose sustainable transportation options, making our cities cleaner and more liveable.”
Sanjiv Gupta, Chairman of Bluwheelz, said, 'Our collaboration with SUN Mobility perfectly resonates with our mission to pave the way for a more sustainable and eco-friendly future in mid-mile and last-mile logistics across the country.”
