Zypp Electric, one of India’s leading electric vehicle-as-a-service platforms, has achieved a new milestone of completing 20.5 million zero-emission deliveries.

The company stated that the quick commerce market in India valued at around USD 60 billion to USD 70 billion is seeing substantial growth. It is expected to further grow by USD 25 billion and USD 55 billion by 2030. Zypp Electric is enabling last-mile delivery partners to embrace electric vehicles enabling higher earnings for them and also help reduce carbon emissions.

Zypp Electric claims that its delivery partners accounted for almost 15-20 percent of all quick commerce orders delivered in the Delhi-NCR region.

It has inked strategic partnerships with companies such as Zepto, Blinkit, Big Basket Now, and Instamart. Its fleet of EVs have helped reduce 2.5 million kilograms of carbon emissions.

The company claims during the recent festive season, top earners of Zypp Delivery Pilots have earned nearly INR 99,949 per month.

Akash Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO, Zypp Electric, said, “I remember when we had our first meeting with all our amazing quick commerce partners Zepto, Blinkit, BB Now and Swiggy Instamart, we were sure that this sector will revolutionise the delivery market. This achievement is not just a number; it signifies our relentless pursuit of sustainability in quick commerce. At Zypp Electric, we believe that quick and sustainable logistics is the future of e-commerce. Our partnerships have shown that we can break the myth that speed and sustainability are mutually exclusive. As we move forward, we are excited to lead the charge in making electric deliveries the norm in India, and I would personally cherish delivering the 21st million delivery landmark myself with my leadership team.”

Chinese technology company Xiaomi EV has introduced the Sky Nomad, a series of reconfigurable SUVs designed to focus on cabin utility and occupant comfort.

While the company’s existing SU7 and YU7 series are designed for the driver, the Sky Nomad series is developed as a living space intended to adapt to different uses throughout the day, such as commuting, working from a parked vehicle or family travel.

The vehicle series is built on Xiaomi’s Kunlun Architecture, which supports a flat floor and a seating system that allows the interior to transition between driving, work and lounge configurations. The design integrates artificial intelligence and Xiaomi’s device ecosystem.

Lei Jun, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Xiaomi, said, "Our answer was to let intelligence define the space, to build a living interior that moves with you."

The Sky Nomad series is aimed at users who require a vehicle for a combination of daily commuting, family transport and work. The series was developed over three and a half years and is scheduled for launch in the Chinese mainland.
