The two-year partnership deal is worth close to US$30 million (NT$939 million) and is being funded by both companies. Delivery riders will receive discounts on new Gogoro Smartscooters and battery swapping plans, while also being given incentives for deliveries on Gogoro vehicles.

Uber Eats expects electric vehicle (EV) deliveries in Taiwan under the program to double from almost 20% to 40% of all trips by the end of 2025.
