In a bold step poised to revolutionise the e-commerce delivery landscape in India. Yulu is gearing up to introduce its first-ever electric scooter tailor-made for the e-commerce delivery sector. Amit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Yulu, has confirmed that the much-awaited launch is scheduled for the end of this financial year.
Why is There a Hype for Yulu?
As e-commerce and logistics are booming phenomenally in India, there is always a continuous high demand for faster, greener, and more cost-effective delivery solutions. Companies are racing to electrify their delivery fleets in an effort to save on carbon footprint. The new Yulu electric scooter is expected to be a vehicle tailor-made for the specific needs of the delivery sector.
Key Features of Yulu E-Scooter
Some of the unique features of Yulu’s new electric scooter that have been designed for delivery services:
- Medium speed capability for deliveries in cities, a top speed of 45 km/h. With a strong balance between the requirements of speed versus safety. Performance is refined to enable easy traffic busting while ensuring timely delivery.
- It can carry heavier loads than standard scooters, thus increasing the possibility of carrying larger packages and bigger orders. Which is also needed for the growing quick commerce business where essentials need to be delivered within minutes.
- The extended range allows you to cover longer routes at a single charge, minimising downtime for recharging and maximising delivery efficiency.
- Yulu’s scooter is put through harsh “abuse tests” to prove its worth amidst the daily grind of delivery services. Arguably becoming a benchmark for electric vehicle durability.
Amit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Yulu, said, “This product will increase our Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) by 10X. So this is a product that can deliver and ride-share at multiple customer requests.”
Riding the wave of the electric revolution
There couldn’t be a better time for the launch of Yulu. Electric vehicles are now turning into a natural part of logistical operations. Top companies like Zypp and Bounce have already made major expansions to their EV fleets in the quest to meet the upsurge in demands for quick deliveries.
“The demand for electric vehicles in e-commerce is soaring. Companies are realising that these vehicles not only help reduce operational costs but also enhance their brand image as environmentally responsible.” Rapido co-founder Arvind Sanka. He understands the growing expectations of the market for something different, somewhat new, and fresh. Yulu’s new scooter fits the bill.
Here’s What Yulu Offers E-Commerce Companies
- Saving Operational Cost: Electric vehicle benefit in relation to fuel and maintenance as against the traditional petrol-based scooter.
- Brand Image: Being seen as a eco-friendly with lowering carbon footprints is resonating very well with consumers. Who increasingly become supportive of sustainable brands.
- Higher Delivery Efficiency: A delivery-specific scooter tailor-made for real-time operations and will be better suited for quick-commerce requirements.
ELCTRIK Speaks
It is not just a new electric scooter as a product in Yulu’s offering. It also captures a growing market while furthering the vision of sustainable urban mobility. Just ahead of the much-anticipated launch, Yulu’s path-breaking approach and strategy partnerships will enable it to stand out in the race to electrify urban logistics. Electric mobility should be embraced not as a choice but as the future of business and e-commerce, given its many changing faces.
