The partnership in Taiwan began earlier this year and offered Uber Eats couriers discounted
Gogoro Smartscooters and battery swapping pricing as well as Uber Eats incentives for adopting clean modes of deliveries.

Gogoro Inc. (Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery-swapping ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities and Uber Eats Taiwan, today announced a Green Delivery Program that will make it easier and more affordable for Uber Eats delivery partners to switch to electric scooters.

The two-year partnership is worth close to US$30 million and is being funded by both companies. Delivery partners will receive discounts on new Gogoro Smartscooters and battery swapping programs, and be given incentives for deliveries on Gogoro Smartscooters. Through the program, Uber Eats expects EV deliveries in Taiwan to double from nearly 20% to 40% of all trips by the end of 2025.

“One of the greatest challenges of our time is transforming urban transportation to cleaner sustainable energy. Through this partnership in Taiwan, Gogoro and Uber are reducing the barriers for Uber Eats riders to embrace and adopt smart mobility in all of their deliveries,” said Horace Luke, founder and CEO of Gogoro. “On average, last mile delivery riders ride more than six-times the distance as consumer riders, so enabling these delivery riders to adopt smart sustainable electric transportation can have an accelerated impact on a city.”

“Making it easy and affordable for delivery partners to switch to electric scooters is a top priority for Uber Eats in Taiwan,” said Chai Lee, Uber Eats Taiwan General Manager. “We have already seen how Uber Eats delivery partners have embraced Gogoro’s EV scooters and smart battery-swapping technology. Today’s agreement stands to supercharge this, bringing cleaner air to cities across Taiwan _ and helping us toward our goal of eliminating emissions on all global deliveries by 2040.”

The program represents a deepening of Gogoro’s and Uber Eats’ shared commitment to a greener future for Taiwan. Earlier this year, both companies announced discounted pricing that was widely and quickly adopted by delivery partners.

Accelerating Two-Wheel EV Adoption
Gogoro’s research indicates that the adoption of two-wheel EVs is already making a meaningful difference. Two and three wheelers are widely used for daily commutes and deliveries in most megacities, especially in Asia and Africa. The adoption of two- and three-wheel electric vehicles is already making meaningful progress as the oil displacement from two- and three-wheel EVs is approximately five times that of four-wheel passenger EVs. Due to a combination of policy support, growing customer acceptance, improvement in battery technology and new compelling models from vehicle makers, we expect the adoption of two- and three-wheel EVs will continue to accelerate.
