"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"
Uber launched the Dedicated EV Fleet Accelerator Program in partnership with Tesla to expand access to the Tesla Semi for Class 8 commercial fleets. Uber Freight will run the buyer's program to lower adoption barriers through three strategies: subsidized pricing, predictable growth via integration into Uber Freight dedicated solutions, and optimization of utilization through Uber's freight network. Fleets purchasing through the program receive purchase subsidies and can secure pre-determined shipping revenue, improving revenue forecasting while providing shippers reliable zero-emission capacity. Tesla will coordinate technical details and tailor cost-of-ownership analyses, and fleets can expect immediate savings from avoided diesel and reduced maintenance.
