Uber Technologies and BYD have announced a multi-year strategic partnership designed to bring 100,000 new BYD electric vehicles onto the Uber platform across key global markets.
Beginning first in Europe and Latin America, the partnership is expected to offer drivers access to best-in-class pricing and financing for BYD vehicles on the Uber platform, and will expand to include markets across the Middle East, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Both companies are EV leaders in their respective categories: Uber has the most widely available on-demand EV network in the world, and BYD is a global leader in EV production.
The companies aim to bring down the total cost of EV ownership for Uber drivers and to introduce millions of riders to green choices.
The companies may also include discounts on charging, vehicle maintenance, or insurance, as well as financing and lease offers.
The two companies will also collaborate on future BYD autonomous-capable vehicles to be deployed on the Uber platform.
