SUN Mobility will give Swiggy’s e-bike fleet access to its battery-swapping technology and its wide network of battery-swapping stations.

Swiggy estimates that its delivery executives travel an average of 80km to 100km daily to deliver orders. This new infrastructure will give them quick access to battery-swapping stations.

It will also help them to save up to 40% of vehicle running costs and boost their overall earnings.

Swiggy operations head Mihir Shah said: “As part of our early and long-term commitment to greener transportation, Swiggy is always looking for ways to increase adoption of electric vehicles in our delivery fleet.
