Suivre notre parcours vers le zéro émission

Five years into our ambitious efforts to transition to a zero-emission platform, we’ve made meaningful progress. Today, Uber is the world's most widely available platform for zero-emission rides, with drivers adopting EVs (electric vehicles) up to 5 times faster than average motorists in the US, Canada, and Europe.

We’ve invested hundreds of millions of dollars to help interested drivers make the switch to electric through incentives, partnerships, and product enhancements—and it’s paying off. Increasingly, riders are experiencing their first EV on Uber, helping to normalize and accelerate the adoption of electric transport all over the world.

Our data shows that EV progress quickens when government and industry work together to get the economics right. In cities like London, Vancouver, and Amsterdam, where thoughtful policies, industry investment, and strong charging networks align, more than 1 in every 3 miles on Uber are now electric.

Despite this significant progress, major barriers remain to fully achieving our goals. High upfront EV costs, limited charging access, and inconsistent policy support continue to slow adoption. Based on current trends, we cannot meet our remaining mobility and delivery goals for 2025, and our 2030 goals will be out of reach without stronger, coordinated action across government and industry.

As we’ve said from the start: Climate is a team sport, and progress depends on collective action. That’s why we’re increasingly prioritizing efforts in cities where public and private investment are aligned.

While many key levers are outside our control, we remain deeply committed to this transition—not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it brings direct and strategic business benefits. Thousands of drivers around the world are taking home more money thanks to lower EV operating costs and rider demand for electric vehicles. Riders report higher satisfaction with the EV experience and are increasingly choosing EVs.

And finally, the future is shared, electric, and autonomous—and the coming wave of autonomous (electric) vehicles will create a major tailwind in achieving our sustainability goals.

Our latest update below outlines the progress to date, key insights, and areas of focus for 2025 and beyond.

Chauffeurs VZE

Globally, more than 286,000 ZEV drivers were active on Uber’s app in Q3 2025. That’s over 57% more than the same period a year earlier.

Indicateur : Moyenne mensuelle de chauffeurs de VZE actifs sur Uber, par trimestre, depuis le premier trimestre de 2021. Les chauffeurs qui utilisent l'app Uber sont considérés comme actifs au cours d'un mois s'ils ont effectué au moins une course au cours de ce mois.

Courses VZE

In Q3 2025, ZEV drivers completed over 136 million trips using Uber, globally. That’s more than 17 ZEV trips on Uber every second, on average. The Q3 2025 total is 60% more than the number of ZEV trips completed on Uber during the same period a year earlier.

Indicateur : nombre de courses organisées dans l'app Uber et effectuées par des chauffeurs de VZE, par trimestre depuis 2021.

Adoption de VZE

In Q3 2025, ZEV drivers completed 16.8% of all on-trip miles in Europe and 9.5% of all on-trip miles in Canada and the US—adoption levels many times above drivers in the general public.

Metric: Share of on-trip miles completed in ZEVs compared with all on-trip miles arranged by the Uber app, by quarter since Q1 2021. Canada, US, and Europe benchmark data is as of 2024 (the most recently available at the time of this update) and is sourced from the International Energy Agency. “BEV” refers to battery electric vehicles.

Intensité carbone des passagers

En 2024, chaque kilomètre parcouru par un passager avec Uber a généré en moyenne 197 grammes de CO₂ en Europe (soit 123 grammes de CO₂ par kilomètre) et 340 grammes de CO₂ aux États-Unis et au Canada (soit 212 grammes de CO₂ par kilomètre). Par rapport à 2021, cet indicateur de l'intensité carbone des passagers a chuté de près de 14 % en Europe et de 16 % aux États-Unis et au Canada.

L'intensité carbone des

passagers en Europe, aux États-Unis et au Canada a légèrement augmenté entre 2023 et 2024 en raison d'une légère diminution du nombre moyen de passagers et d'une augmentation de la « distance à vide » (kilométrage parcouru par les véhicules avant et pendant la prise en charge des passagers).

États-Unis et Canada
Clear value

Metric: Passenger carbon intensity, or the estimated grams of CO₂ per passenger mile traveled, is an annual efficiency metric used by Uber—and, increasingly, governments and companies around the world. In the case of ridesharing, or any on-demand mobility service, emissions produced by any deadhead miles are factored into the calculation.

For more details about how we calculate passenger carbon intensity, go to our methodology document. Note that significantly lower average fuel economy for vehicles on Uber in Europe versus the US and Canada explains most of the difference in carbon intensity in these 2 geographies. While the composition of vehicles that drivers use on Uber’s app in Europe is more efficient (with a higher proportion of ZEVs and hybrids), more-stringent fuel economy reporting standards in the US also contributes to this discrepancy. In addition, we lack access to sufficient input data to calculate passenger carbon intensity for trips completed in European markets before 2021.

Foire aux questions

  • Notre mise à jour sur l'électrification fournit aux parties prenantes intéressées des indicateurs de performance sur les émissions liées au carbone et l'électrification des courses de passagers en véhicules effectuées avec l'app Uber.

  • Cette mise à jour, basée sur l'utilisation réelle de notre plateforme de mobilité, contribue à fournir une plus grande transparence de notre impact sur l'électrification et nous aide à améliorer nos efforts pour soutenir l'efficacité sur notre plateforme.

  • Les indicateurs comprennent les éléments suivants :

    • L'utilisation de véhicules zéro émission (VZE) par des chauffeurs avec Uber (part du nombre de milles ou de kilomètres parcourus pendant une course en VZE), qui mesure nos progrès vers notre objectif d'une mobilité 100 % zéro émission sur Uber d'ici 2040.
    • L'intensité carbone des passagers, qui mesure le taux d'émission par kilomètre et par passager.

  • Nous avons des objectifs ambitieux pour réduire l'intensité de carbone des courses et augmenter l'utilisation de véhicules zéro émission avec Uber. La mesure et la transparence des progrès réalisés sont des étapes importantes tout au long du processus.

  • Les courses avec l'app Uber sont l'une des nombreuses options de transport disponibles pour les personnes qui ont besoin de se déplacer. Le choix d'un moyen de transport pour les courses dépend en grande partie des diverses conditions du marché local. Notre analyse des données de l'enquête nationale sur les déplacements des ménages aux États-Unis (US National Household Travel Survey) montre une corrélation entre une utilisation plus élevée par ménage des modes de transport les plus durables (transport en commun, marche et vélo) et un recours plus élevé au covoiturage et à d'autres solutions sur demande.

  • Many of the above metrics now cover all passenger trips completed with the Uber app globally. We regularly report on carbon emissions and other impact areas resulting from trips on Uber.

  • Nous mettons à jour les indicateurs au moins une fois par an et pouvons mettre à jour certains indicateurs plus fréquemment. Nous publierons des indicateurs d'émissions (comme l'intensité carbone des passagers) chaque année, cumulés par année civile.

  • We use the term “zero-emission vehicle” (ZEV) the same way the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Europe’s Transport & Environment (T&E) do: to refer to vehicles that produce no direct CO₂ emissions or other criteria air pollutants (such as NOx, particulate matter, CO₂, and SOx) from the on-board source of power. Regional variations should be considered at the reader’s discretion.

    Drivers using Uber’s app use 2 types of ZEVs today: battery electric vehicles (battery EVs) and, very occasionally, hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

    Of course, the “zero” in ZEV refers to no emissions from the proverbial “tailpipe” of the vehicle and not necessarily all the emissions that can be accounted for from production to disposal of the vehicle and its energy source. All accounted for, however, life-cycle analyses by independent experts show that “emissions over the lifetime of average medium-size battery EVs registered today are already lower than comparable gasoline cars by 66%–69% in Europe, 60%–68% in the United States, 37%–45% in China, and 19%–34% in India.”

  • Our Electrification Update currently covers electrification and emissions metrics only for our Mobility business (ridesharing). We aim to include our progress on delivery emissions and electrification in the future.

    In terms of packaging, Uber continues to invest in helping merchants transition to sustainable options. As with electrification, however, progress depends on collective action. We’re prioritizing efforts in cities where public and private investments are aligned. For example, in France over 60% of packaging used on the platform is recyclable, reusable, or compostable, supported by national policy and local incentives.

    While progress has been made, based on current trends we cannot meet all 2025 goals, and our 2030 goals will be out of reach without stronger, coordinated action across government and industry.

    While many key levers are outside our control, we remain deeply committed to this transition. To learn more about Uber’s approach to more-sustainable packaging with merchants, consult our Uber Eats for Merchants web page.
