"Uber announced on Tuesday that it was planning to launch the Dedicated EV Fleet Accelerator Program in a new partnership with Tesla. Uber's Freight division is mainly responsible for the new program, which it calls a "first-of-its-kind buyer's program designed to make electric freight more affordable and accessible by addressing key adoption barriers." Tesla and Uber will work together, using the company's all-electric Semi, to make sustainable Class 8 electric trucks more affordable with three main strategies: Subsidized Pricing, Predictable Growth, and Optimization of Utilization."
"Subsidized Price: Fleets purchasing Tesla Semis through this program will receive a subsidy on the purchase price. Predictable Growth: Fleets will integrate their Tesla Semis into Uber Freight's dedicated solutions for shippers for a pre-determined period. This creates an opportunity for carriers to forecast revenue with confidence, while shippers gain consistent access to reliable, zero-emission capacity. Optimize Utilization: Uber Freight taps into its extensive freight network to match carriers with consistent, high-quality freight"
"Tesla will work directly with interested companies to iron out technical details about the Semi, as well as its cost of ownership based on the tailored needs of their business. Fleets can expect savings on the first day, Uber says, as they will avoid diesel fuel costs and reduced maintenance, a widely known advantage of EVs. Uber announced that it had partnered with select carriers to pilot the Dedicated EV Fleet Accelerator Program prior to its launch:"
Uber and Tesla launched a partnership to roll out the Dedicated EV Fleet Accelerator Program to increase access to Tesla Semis for commercial fleets. The program uses three levers: purchase subsidies, integration into Uber Freight's dedicated shipper solutions for predictable revenue, and utilization optimization through Uber's freight network. Tesla will collaborate directly with fleets on technical details and tailored total cost-of-ownership estimates. Fleets can expect immediate operational savings from avoided diesel fuel and reduced maintenance. Uber has partnered with select carriers to pilot the program before broader deployment to validate performance and utilization.
