German multinational in-charge of providing food ordering and deliveries for consumers around the world, Delivery Hero, is in more than 60 countries internationally – South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It is also partnered with hundreds of thousands of restaurants. Just checking their official website, and you’d know.
This company has revealed on its newsroom official that it has joined the United Nations as among its founding members. The initiative this international organization is working on is known as the UN Deliver-E Coalition, aiming to bolster the shift towards zero-emission food and grocery deliveries. The way to move those items: electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles, or EVs, are cars running on electric motors that are powered by batteries, instead of combustion engines that run on gasoline. Do they need charging like your mobile phones? Yes, you’ll need to charge them, too.
However, in spite of the need to charge them occasionally, their advantages outweigh the cons. One of these benefits is keeping money on fuel. Initially, electric cars are pricey, but in the long run, it’s all about making those savings. EVs also do not cause significant pollution, plus they are quiet, not creating the noise that combustion engines produce.
Speaking of how innovative it is, these cars utilize advanced technologies that earn them good reviews from their owners. Lastly, such electric vehicles offer the fast acceleration you’re looking for, allowing you to drive limitless on the road.
These cars will find their moment in the Deliver-E Coalition from the United Nations, which would bring together major stakeholders – technology corporations, equipment manufacturers and providers, policy makers, fleet aggregators, and financial institutions.
Specifically, they would be utilizing electric two- and three-wheelers in urban delivery operations. The dynamics of this project works this way, wherein members are bound to collaborate to evaluate technologies, address common barriers to electrification, and agree on which practical steps, with development tracked via regular reporting and coordination. Organized system at its finest, right?
With EVs being used to work on delivering the food cravings and grocery needs of delivery customers, urban air and noise pollution are lowered, climate emissions reduced, and savings could be used to create new opportunities. Perfectly matched with those benefits, of course.
The platform’s deputy for communications, public affairs, and corporate social responsibility Eszter Ungar stated, “We’re delighted to be part of the UN Deliver-E Coalition. From [electric bicycles, as well as] motorbikes… we’re proud to be supporting the use of electric two and three-wheeled vehicles, and playing our part in the global push toward more sustainable delivery.”
