Gogoro, a Taiwan-based battery-swapping firm, has partnered with Swiggy, an on-demand convenience delivery platform in India, for sustainable electric transportation. 

Under this partnership, Gogoro will provide Gogoro Smartscooters and battery-swapping infrastructure for Swiggy’s delivery fleet.

Horace Luke, founder, and CEO of Gogoro said, “Accelerating the electric transformation of India’s hyperlocal fleets is a top priority for Gogoro and India’s national and city governments. Together, Swiggy and Gogoro will provide a seamless path for riders to adopt sustainable electric transportation and improve their business efficiency.”

Mihir Shah, Head of Operations at Swiggy said, "Gogoro's battery swapping technology represents a new generation of electric refueling that has proven successful on a mass scale for last-mile delivery, and we look forward to working with them to transform hyperlocal deliveries to be more sustainable and efficient in India." 

This is in continuation with Swiggy’s commitment annonced in 2021, to cover 8 lakh kilometers every day through EV deliveries. The company which has also inked strategic partnerships with Reliance BP Mobility and Hero Lectro, claims that this has enabled delivery partners to save up to 40% of the vehicle running cost, positively impacting their earnings.
