According to data from the World Meteorological Organization , 2022 was the fifth or sixth warmest year in recorded history. In addition, it was the eighth consecutive year in which the temperature increase was greater than 1 °C, approaching the limit established in the Paris Agreement. And, despite the La Niña phenomenon, which cools the Earth's climate, the effects of global warming continue to worsen. Proof of this is the lack of water that occurred in our country. The states with the greatest drought were those in the north of the territory, according to the Conagua Drought Monitor , while the central states went through an abnormally dry situation and moderate drought. Faced with this situation, different companies joined forces with the state and federal governments to allocate part of their production water to cushion the population's problems due to the scarcity of this resource.Recently, the American mobility services provider company, Uber, declared that it is working with automobile manufacturers to develop three-wheeled vehicles, aimed at the needs of delivery and passenger transportation in urban areas, according to CNN . Uber has been heavily criticized for contributing to chaotic traffic in cities by removing passengers from public transportation – such as trains and buses – and increasing the use of more individual cars.
However, according to the company, three-wheel electric vehicles could help mitigate this problem and reduce their environmental footprint. Uber reduces its environmental footprint As the world faces climate change, cities, companies and governments are challenged to adopt sustainable transportation models that meet and address current and future needs and habits. Uber, which Cyprus Email List currently has a presence in 63 countries, recognizes the importance of its influence in this transformation by betting on the electrification of its fleet, and now also with a custom design. Uber's new announcement about three-wheeled vehicles joins other commitments of the corporation in line with sustainability and the international call of international organizations such as the UN to fight climate change . "Climate change remains an existential threat and crisis that requires every person, every business and every nation to act." Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. In the US alone, transportation is the largest source of polluting emissions and contributes to urban congestion. The three-wheeled vehicle seeks to address its responsibility in this problem.
Smaller cars of the type Khosrowshahi envisions could help mitigate congestion, and have a smaller environmental footprint. Uber says it will offer rides only in electric vehicles in US, Europe by 2030— Baltazar Torres (@baltazar_techie) September 10, 2020 "We envision smaller vehicles, two-wheeled, three-wheeled, that have trunk space that can get through traffic more easily and that have a much smaller footprint, both in terms of environmental footprint and traffic footprint." Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. For example, in cities like New York, higher horsepower is often unnecessary just to get people or deliveries from one place to another. Specifically, for deliveries in these urban areas, passenger vehicles can waste space and energy, as packages are typically much smaller than people and do not require seat belts or airbags. Electric three-wheeled vehicles, a step towards sustainable mobility For TechSci Research , although three-wheeled vehicles have existed and been in operation for a long time, technological advances towards less polluting fuels are driving more socially and environmentally responsible mobility.
