Actualización sobre la electrificación de Uber
Q3 2025 update: This page includes metrics for trips completed on Uber by internal combustion engine vehicles and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs, such as battery EVs) from the beginning of the first quarter of 2021 to the end of the third quarter of 2025. Note that the scope of this report includes only Uber’s Mobility business (ridesharing).
Seguimiento de nuestro viaje hacia las emisiones cero
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.
Socios conductores de ZEV
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.
Métrica: Promedio de socios de la App que conducen vehículos de emisiones cero activos mensuales en la app de Uber, por trimestre, desde el primer trimestre de 2021. Los socios de la App que usan la app de Uber se cuentan como activos en un mes determinado si completaron al menos un viaje en ese mes calendario.
Viajes en ZEV
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.
Métrica: Cantidad de viajes organizados en la app de Uber y completados por socios de la App que conducen ZEV, por trimestre desde el primer trimestre de 2021.
Adopción de los ZEV
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.
Intensidad de las emisiones de carbono por usuario
En 2024, cada milla que un usuario viajó con la app de Uber generó una emisión promedio de 197 gramos de CO₂ en Europa (o 123 gramos de CO₂ por kilómetro) y de 340 gramos de CO₂ en EE. UU. y Canadá (o 212 gramos de CO₂ por kilómetro). En comparación con 2021, esta métrica de intensidad de emisiones de carbono de los usuarios disminuyó un 14% en Europa y un 6% en EE. UU. y Canadá.
La intensidad de emisiones de carbono de los usuarios en Europa, EE. UU. y Canadá aumentó ligeramente entre 2023 y 2024 debido a disminuciones menores en la ocupación promedio de usuarios y aumentos de los “viajes sin carga” (kilometraje del vehículo incurrido antes y en el camino para recolectar usuarios).
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.

Preguntas frecuentes
- ¿Qué es la actualización Electrificación de Uber?
Nuestra Actualización de electrificación proporciona a las partes interesadas métricas basadas en el desempeño sobre las emisiones relacionadas con el carbono y la electrificación para los viajes en vehículos de pasajeros habilitados por la app de Uber.
- ¿Por qué publican esta actualización?
Esta actualización, basada en el uso real de nuestra plataforma de movilidad, ayuda a proporcionar una mayor transparencia del impacto de la electrificación y nos ayuda a mejorar nuestros esfuerzos para respaldar la eficiencia en nuestra plataforma.
- ¿Cuáles son las medidas clave que utilizas en la Actualización de electrificación?
Las métricas incluyen lo siguiente:
- Uso de vehículos de cero emisiones (Zero-Emission Vehicle, ZEV) por parte de los socios de la app de Uber (porcentaje de millas o kilómetros recorridos en un ZEV), lo cual mide nuestro progreso hacia nuestra meta de una movilidad del 100% con cero emisiones por parte de Uber a nivel mundial para el año 2040
- Intensidad de las emisiones de carbono por usuario, que mide las emisiones resultantes de cada milla recorrida por usuario
- ¿Cómo mejorará esta actualización la reducción de emisiones y la adopción de la electrificación para los viajes con la app de Uber?
Tenemos el ambicioso objetivo de reducir la intensidad de las emisiones de carbono de los usuarios en los viajes y de aumentar el uso de ZEV en la app de Uber. La medición y la transparencia del progreso son pasos importantes en nuestro recorrido.
- ¿Los usuarios realizan viajes con la app de Uber en lugar de usar opciones con bajas emisiones de carbono, como el transporte público?
Los viajes con la app de Uber son una de las muchas opciones de transporte disponibles para las personas que buscan un viaje. La elección del tipo de viaje depende mucho de las diversas condiciones del mercado local. Nuestro análisis de los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Viajes Familiares de EE. UU. muestra que una mayor utilización por hogar de los modos de transporte más sostenibles (transporte público, caminar y bicicleta) se correlaciona con una mayor utilización de viajes compartidos y otras soluciones a pedido.
- ¿Medirán los mismos datos para otros países o regiones del mundo?
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.
- ¿Con qué frecuencia esperas proporcionar la actualización de Electrificación de Uber?
Actualizamos todas las métricas al menos una vez al año y es posible que actualicemos algunas con más frecuencia. Publicaremos anualmente las métricas de emisiones (como la intensidad de emisiones de carbono de los usuarios), agregadas por año calendario.
- ¿Qué significa un “vehículo de cero emisiones”?
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.”
- ¿Medirás el impacto de tu negocio de entregas?
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.
