Zomato starts bicycle delivery

The bicycles will help to maintain the mobility of the service, promote environment-friendly transportation, create more employment opportunities, and negotiate traffic and parking issues, especially in congested areas, where cycles would be able to navigate better.

Zomato is now introducing bicycles, both mechanical and electric, into its last mile delivery fleet for food delivery. The bicycles will help to maintain the mobility of the service, promote environment-friendly transportation, create more employment opportunities, and negotiate traffic and parking issues, especially in congested areas, where cycles would be able to navigate better.

As of today, Zomato has over 5000 cyclists operating across 12 cities in India, with a majority of the fleet pushing the pedal in Delhi NCR.

Zomato has partnered with Mobycy, e-HIRAN, TNT, Yulu and Zoomcar’s PEDL to provide e-cycles to aspiring delivery executives who are allotted shorter order distance — an average of 2.5 km — to ensure faster delivery.

Mohit Gupta, CEO, Food Delivery business, Zomato, said, “Climate change and environmental challenges are an inalienable reality of the future. With the aggressive geographical expansion of food delivery, our last mile fleet is increasing by 150 delivery partners every day which places the onus of pollution-free and minimal fossil-fuel solutions on us. With this development, we are aiming to build a future that creates more tangible value and leaves a lesser carbon footprint.”
