Arrival, the UK-based electric vehicle start-up, has confirmed it will launch a purpose-built electric car for the ride-hailing industry. The car will make its debut later this year, before entering production in late 2023.
The project is a collaborative effort between Arrival and the American ride-hailing service, Uber. It also ties in quite neatly with the latter company’s Clean Air Plan, which will see all of its London drivers make the switch to an EV by 2025.
Uber has already raised £135 million, which will be divided into grants for its drivers to spend on new electric cars. Arrival is also inviting Uber drivers to join the design process for its new EV to make sure the finished car best suits their needs.
