Blu Smart will add 500 Mahindra eVeritos into its all-electric ride sharing fleet by April, 2020 and expand to other cities such as Mumbai and Pune.
Delhi residents will now be able to book all-electric rides using the Blu Smart Mobility app. Mahindra Electric Vehicles come with Next Generation Mobility (NEMO) connected features which help fleet operators such as Blu Smart optimise fleet usage.
“Mahindra’s electric vehicles have already crossed the landmark figure of 130m kilometres, which in turn has helped to save over 11,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions across the country,” said Mahindra Electric CEO, Mahesh Babu.
“Today, we are proud to flag off our zero-emissions, all-electric Mahindra eVerito sedans and make them available on the Blu Smart App. This marks another big step forward in the electric mobility revolution in India.
