Zypp Electric 'Road Safety Week' to promote responsible riding with no-cost insurance coverage, helmet distribution

New Delhi, February 3, 2024: In a push to enhance road safety and promote responsible riding, India's tech-enabled EV-as-a-service platform Zypp Electric has launched a ‘Road Safety Week Campaign’ in Gurugram for its delivery partners with the Gurugram Traffic Police and RSO Gurugram.

The initiative encompasses a series of targeted activities, including helmet distribution, public awareness drives, educational workshops, and no-cost insurance coverage for all participants.

As a part of the campaign, Zypp Electric is hosting a comprehensive workshop event at the Zypp Electric Hub in Sector 69, Gurugram. The event agenda includes a series of activities designed to engage and educate participants, followed by an opening ceremony addressed by Tushar Mehta, Co-Founder and COO of Zypp Electric. The ceremony will include a keynote session by ACP, Traffic Gurugram, a workshop on road safety guidelines and awareness, and a live interactive road awareness drive with the public.

A key feature of the Road Safety Campaign is the Zypp Suraksha program, an innovative insurance offering that provides no-cost coverage to all riders, with benefits up to INR 5 lakh. This program emphasizes the company's commitment to the welfare of its riders by offering accidental cover.

Speaking on the initiative, Tushar Mehta, Co-Founder and COO, Zypp Electric said, "Our initiative goes beyond the provision of sustainable transportation solutions; it is about creating a culture of safety and responsibility on the roads. We already provide helmets to our delivery partners during their onboarding process and over 100+ delivery partners joined the event today which is a good start to educating them about their well-being while driving and safety.”

“By integrating road safety awareness with our services, we aim to make a tangible difference in the way people commute. The Road Safety Campaign, especially combined with initiatives like Zypp Suraksha, represents a crucial step towards our goal of reducing road accidents and building a safer commuting environment for everyone," he added.
