As revealed by Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, last Tuesday, September 8,\u00a0Uber Green<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is the company's largest forward-looking project ever undertaken. It is an electrification plan, whereby 100% of its fleet will be composed by\u00a0electric cars<\/strong>, The company's commitment to be a zero-carbon company has been fulfilled.<\/p>

To meet this objective,\u00a0Uber\u00a0<\/strong>will focus on four short- and medium-term goals. One of the main ones, which is already in operation, is the option offered to passengers to choose to travel in a \u00abgreen\u00bb car, paying one dollar more than a normal trip. This additional payment will go directly to the driver, thus encouraging the purchase of a \"green\" car.\u00a0electric vehicle<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Another of the actions, and undoubtedly the most important one, involves the investment of\u00a0US$800 million for its main markets Canada, the United States and Europe<\/strong>. This amount will be earmarked for the purchase of electric cars. Dara Khosrowshahi stated that according to the transformation plan, 50% of Uber's total fleet must be made up of electric cars by 2025.<\/p>

Uber\u00a0<\/strong>has also partnered with automakers, such as GM in the U.S. and Renault\/Nissan in Europe, to help\u00a0electric vehicles<\/strong>\u00a0be cheaper for drivers. The company will also affirm commitments to build its own electric vehicle charging infrastructure and partner with local governments to support local clean air initiatives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
