Coca-Cola has received thousands of e-rickshaw deliveries

It’s no secret that the biggest talking point within the car world right now consists of all things EV, but it doesn’t just start and end with electric cars.

E-bikes, e-scooters, and EV pickups are all part of the fun, but now there’s a new member of the E clan, consisting of e-rickshaws, and one huge company has taken it all in its stride.

Drinks giant Coca-Cola has gone green with a new e-rickshaw expansion in India alongside the drinks company’s bottling partners.

According to Coca-Cola India, the expansion includes over a whopping 5,000 EVs nationwide, consisting of electric rickshaw vehicles.

“Our trucking ecosystem is a living engine of economic opportunity and impact-led progress. 

“It creates livelihood opportunities across states, fuels micro-economies in transport hubs, and ensures that our beverages reach every lane and locality,” Coca-Cola India Vice President Sundeep Baoria said.

Thanks to the expansion, the e-rickshaws will create ‘stable employment opportunities’ and will contribute to the supply chain workforce.

Plus, a key bottler for the company, Superior Drinks Pvt. Ltd has also added nearly 200 trucks and EVs this year, too.

The vehicles have three wheels and are smaller than traditional cars, enabling them to weave through small streets seamlessly.

The EV industry is rapidly advancing

Thanks to a massive shift from gas-powered cars to EVs, there is a high demand in the sphere, which means advancements need to happen quickly.

In fact, CATL recently unveiled a sodium-ion EV battery that’s set to rewrite the entire industry like never before.

Plus, Huawei opened the world’s first 100-megawatt charging station, which is able to charge a Tesla in just two minutes.
