SINGAPORE (Sept 19): S i2i Ltd has launched its commercial Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet of seven pure electric cars using car hailing services from Uber, according to parent company S Dreams.
The cars were manufactured by Chinese automobile manufacturer BYD Auto, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BYD Company based in Xi’an, China.
Eight more cars are to join the fleet “soon”, according to S Dreams in a Sunday release.
Aside from being able to play a part in “building a green environment by reducing their carbon footprint” by riding in these cars, S Dreams says passengers of its new EV fleet will stand to “enjoy perks from time to time”, such as free Wi-Fi connectivity.
The group adds that its future expansion of such a business would depend on favourable policy changes by the government, the demand of the vehicles by its partners, and the success of the new EV-related technology.
Shares of S i2i closed 0.03% higher at S$1.58 on Friday.
