The announcement comes in the lead-up to Climate Week NYC 2022, also run by Climate Group.

By joining EV100, WayCool will transition its last-mile delivery fleet to electric by 2030. They will also install charging points at 50 locations across India for staff and customers by 2030. Operating in 50 regions across the country, WayCool handles more than 1200 tonnes of food products daily, with a network of over 150K farmers.

As the EV100 initiative celebrates its fifth anniversary this month at Climate Week NYC, WayCool joins over 120 companies globally – 13 of which are from India - who have made the commitment. Together they are committing over 5.5 million vehicles to electric by 2030.
