My Views

The future of mobility promises to be silent, efficient, and much better for
our environment.

Investments by fleet operators such as Ola and Uber, as well as some

operators of food distribution services, are also expected to boost the initial
growth of two- and four-wheeled electric scooter.

The timely adoption coupled with the electrification of the existing vehicles
and growth of charging infrastructure will create a shift

The impact of will be felt in metropolitan cities especially given that pollution
has reached catastrophic levels.
