Uber Eats partners with Zoomo to boost sustainability goals

01 November 2023/Categories: Logistics & Supply Chain, Net-Zero


Zoomo and Uber Eats have teamed up to drive greater accessibility of light electric vehicles for couriers in London. This will see high-performance E-mopeds added to Zoomo’s product portfolio with a discount offered for monthly and weekly rental of E-mopeds.

The overall aim of this partnership is for both Uber eats and Zoomo to contribute to London’s sustainable delivery and transport ecosystem.

Uber Eats commits to make 100% of food delivery trips emission free worldwide by 2040 with major European cities being a target for 2030. This announcement puts them in the righ direction and also supports Zoomo’s mission of transitioning urban miles to light electric vehicles (LEVs), while enhancing courier access to efficient and affordable transportation.

Nicolas de Juniac, UK General Manager at Zoomo, said: “We admire Uber’s commitments to reduce the carbon footprint of food delivery trips. By joining forces with Uber Eats to enhance courier access to E-mopeds, we're not only taking significant strides toward a greener delivery landscape but also setting the stage for a more sustainable and efficient industry - and this is just the beginning.”

 “We're excited to work closely with Uber Eats, growing our partnership and leading the charge toward a brighter, eco-conscious future, all while empowering valued couriers. It's a win-win-win partnership: for the environment, for our riders, and for Zoomo.”

To help tackle the emissions generated by food delivery, couriers who use Uber Eats will receive a discount on the rental cost of high-quality E-mopeds in the initial month of sign-up, making the E-mopeds accessible at just £149 (including insurance) via Zoomo.

Matthew Price, Uber Eats General Manager of UK, Ireland and Northern Europe Uber Eats, said: “I am delighted to be expanding our partnership with Zoomo to offer high-performance e-Mopeds to couriers in London. It is our goal to be emission free in London by 2030 and globally by 2040, and with this partnership we are moving towards that goal.”
