Ola announced ‘Mission: Electric’, with a commitment to place 10,000 E-rickshaws and Electric auto-rickshaws in its service in the next 12 months. From cycle rickshaws to ‘shuttles’ and lastmile transport, three-wheelers continue to be a dominant form of daily transit for many people across the nation. The company will develop ‘Mission: Electric’ as a platform to bring one million Electric Vehicles on the road by 2021. Ola will work with driver-partners, cities, vehicle manufacturers, and battery companies to make sustainable technologies costeffective and viable in daily mobility. “Three wheelers are a vital means of transportation and a source of livelihood for millions of people every day. It also represents an immediate opportunity to improve outcomes for all stakeholders while reducing pollution across towns and cities,” said Bhavish Aggarwal, Co-Founder and CEO of Ola.
