Why Shoonya?

Why electric vehicles?

Moving people and goods is an integral part of the urban economy. With a growing population, rapid urbanisation, and an increase in e-commerce, urban freight demand is expected to increase by 140 percent this decade. Commercial passenger vehicle movement is also expected to increase 5X by 2050. Meeting India’s growing transportation demand through conventional internal combustion engine vehicles will be expensive, polluting, and unhealthy. Zero-emission vehicles present an opportunity to meet this demand while reducing costs and improving air quality.

Improved air quality

EVs emit zero particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions at the tailpipe.

Improved public health

Adopting electric fleets can significantly reduce harmful vehicle emissions such as PM and NOx that cause respiratory ailments and other diseases and improve public health.

Better for the environment

EVs produce 20 percent less CO2 than fossil-fuel vehicles.

Cost savings

Shifting to all-electric fleets leads to reduced fuel and maintenance costs.

Shoonya’s Growing Impact

Between September 2021 to September 2024, the Shoonya campaign has onboarded over 215 companies, which have collectively deployed thousands of EVs across India. Shoonya Partners have completed around 674 million rides and deliveries, leading to emissions reductions amounting to 66 thousand tonnes of CO2, 413 tonnes of NOx and 12.8 tonnes of PM.
