Update zur Elektrifizierung von 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).

Auf dem Weg zur Nullemission

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.

ZEV-Fahrer

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.

Kennzahl: Durchschnittlich monatlich aktive Fahrer*innen von Elektrofahrzeugen, die im Rahmen von Uber tätig sind, quartalsmäßig seit dem 1. Quartal 2021. Fahrer*innen, die die Uber App nutzen, werden in einem bestimmten Monat als aktiv gezählt, wenn sie in diesem Kalendermonat mindestens eine Fahrt abgeschlossen haben.

ZEV-Fahrten

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.

Kennzahl: Anzahl der Fahrten, die über die Uber App geplant und von ZEV-Fahrer*innen durchgeführt wurden, quartalsweise seit dem ersten Quartal 2021.

Verbreitung von 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.

CO₂-Intensität der Fahrgäste

Im Jahr 2024 führte jede Meile, die ein Fahrgast mit der Uber App zurücklegte, zu einer durchschnittlichen Erzeugung von 197 Gramm CO₂ in Europa (oder 123 Gramm CO₂ pro Kilometer) und 340 Gramm CO₂ in den USA und Kanada (oder 212 Gramm CO₂ pro Kilometer). Im Vergleich zu 2021 sank diese Kennzahl für die CO₂-Intensität der Fahrgäste in Europa um fast 14 % und in den USA und Kanada um 6 %.

Die CO₂-Intensität der Fahrgäste in Europa, den USA und Kanada stieg zwischen 2023 und 2024 leicht an, was auf einen leichten Rückgang der durchschnittlichen Fahrgastbelegung und einen Anstieg der „Leerfahrten“ (Im Fahrzeug zurückgelegte Kilometer, die vor und auf dem Weg zur Abholung von Fahrgästen anfallen) zurückzuführen ist.

USA und Kanada
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.

Einblicke und weitreichendere Erkenntnisse

Häufig gestellte Fragen

  • In unserem Update zur Elektromobilität erfahren interessierten Stakeholder*innen leistungsbezogene Kennzahlen zu CO₂-Emissionen und Elektromobilität für Fahrten mit Fahrgästen, die über die Uber App ermöglicht werden.

  • Diese Aktualisierung, die auf der Verwendung unserer Mobilitätsplattform in der Wirklichkeit gründet, trägt zu einer größeren Transparenz über unseren Impact für die Elektrifizierung bei und hilft uns bei der Verbesserung unserer Anstrengungen zur Steigerung der Effizienz auf unserer Plattform.

  • Zu den Kennzahlen gehören die folgenden:

    • Nutzung von emissionsfreien Fahrzeugen (ZEV) durch Fahrer*innen, die Uber verwenden (Anteil der mit emissionsfreien Fahrzeugen zurückgelegten Kilometer), die unseren Fortschritt auf dem Weg zu unserem Ziel einer zu 100 % emissionsfreien Mobilität bei Uber bis 2040 misst
    • CO₂-Intensität der Fahrgäste, die die Emissionen pro vom Fahrgast zurückgelegter Meile misst

  • Wir haben das ehrgeizige Ziel, die CO₂-Intensität von Fahrten zu reduzieren und die Nutzung von emissionsfreien Fahrzeugen über die Uber App zu erhöhen. Die Messung und Transparenz der Fortschritte sind wichtige Schritte auf unserem Weg.

  • Fahrten über die Uber App sind eine von vielen Transportmöglichkeiten, die Personen, die eine Fahrt suchen, zur Verfügung stehen. Die Wahl der Fahrt hängt stark von verschiedenen lokalen Marktbedingungen ab. Unsere Analyse der Daten der „US National Household Travel Survey“ zeigt, dass eine höhere Nutzung der nachhaltigsten Verkehrsmittel (Nahverkehr, Zufußgehen und Radfahren) pro Haushalt mit einer höheren Nutzung von Fahrgemeinschaften und anderen Lösungen auf Abruf korreliert.

  • 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.

  • Wir aktualisieren die Kennzahlen mindestens einmal im Jahr und können einige Kennzahlen ggf. auch häufiger aktualisieren. Wir werden jährlich Emissionskennzahlen (wie die CO₂-Intensität der Fahrgäste) veröffentlichen, aggregiert nach Kalenderjahr.

  • 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.
