Uber is determined to become a company whose activity is completely free of emissions, and in pursuit of this the startup Arrival has announced a collaboration with the popular mobility company. Both companies will collaborate on the design of an electric car intended to serve as a tool for electric and shared mobility.

It is not the first collaboration of this type in which the popular transport company is the protagonist, since last month Uber made its alliance with Hyundai public  A deal through which the Korean manufacturer undertakes to facilitate the purchase of its range of electric cars, among which are the Ioniq and Kona electric, as well as the new Ioniq 5 and the rest of the future models of the firm that are presented. As reported, the agreement will benefit Uber drivers from the seven main European capitals, including Madrid.

Regarding the collaboration announced today, and according to the Arrival press release, this electric car is expected to go into production in the third quarter of 2023 as an affordable electric vehicle designed specifically for Uber drivers.

I think it is great that some companies are stepping up to make more environmentally-friendly choices. While we (average people) contribute to some degree, large corporations are the most responsible for carbon emissions. In my opinion, more money should be put towards researching technology that uses renewable energy.

I personally have been super excited to see that care companies are starting to develop and design their own electric vehicles. While it may take a long time to get people to go completely electric, or carless in general, I do believe that its possible. I also believe that specialization such as what Uber is trying to do will end up boosting the economy and creating a new market for car companies in the process. I do think that its interesting to also note that the UK has started developing electric charging roads that charge cars as they drive along them. In fact Detroit has already installed one that serves its purpose well.

I am very pleased to hear that such a big corporation like Uber is taking a stand to go green and switch to electric cars. Because the company is based solely on driving, it’s biggest problem is the amount of emissions they are contributing to the atmosphere. I think it is awesome they are trying to lower their carbon footprint, especially when they could just be sitting back and doing nothing. I hope more big corporations like Uber join in on this trend of being more sustainable, they are the ones in power and can influence peoples carbon footprints believe it or not. But ultimately, it is up to us to make a change and save our planet, in hopes of future generations to be able to enjoy the home we call Earth.

I think its great that a company like Uber is doing this, as a company with so many freelance workers, actively trying to cut their emissions to zero is going to be a big step towards showing that all types of company’s can do the same, which I think a lot of people will realize is possible for bigger companies, causing more people to push for more eco friendly company’s

I think it is good that a few companies are making environmentally-friendly things like this Uber electric car. The companies around the world caused a lot of carbon emissions and if more companies did something like this car it could slow climate change down.
