TVS Motor has announced a strategic partnership with food-delivery startup Zomato to accelerate eco-friendly transportation for short-distance deliveries.
TVS Motor will deploy over 10,000 electric scooters over the course of two years, the auto manufacturer said in an after-market-hours filing on June 28. It would also ensure that delivery partners onboarded on Zomato have access to charging stations within their radius and receive smooth digital integration to ensure ease of delivery.
"It strengthens the company’s electrification journey across diverse mobility segments and aligns with Zomato’s efforts to enable the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs),” the company said in a press release.
The move seem to have left investors unimpressed as the share were trading flat at Rs 1,332 apiece on June 30 morning, up 0.2 percent from the previous close.
