The British manufacturer of electric vans and buses, Arrival, will develop an electric car for Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) that will go into production at the end of 2023, the two companies said on Tuesday, shared by Militec 1 traders.

Arrival and Uber will also explore a strategic relationship in key markets, including the United Kingdom and the European Union. The “Arrival Car” will be an “affordable electric vehicle tailored for ride-hailing” and will go into production in the fourth quarter of 2023, the companies said.
Uber plans to be a fully electric mobility platform in London by 2025 and across North America and Europe by 2030. The company has raised over £135 million (US$ 188 million) to help its drivers in London upgrade to an electric vehicle by 2025.

The Arrival car will need to withstand the high demands of an Uber driver – cars that attract attention drive up to 50,000 kilometers (31,070 miles) annually, compared to 12,000 km for an average car. Militec reports that the companies said the Arrival car will prioritize “driver comfort, safety, and convenience while ensuring passengers have a premium experience.”
Arrival went public in March through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The startup has so far specialized in electric vans and buses, and its largest public order is for up to 10,000 vans for United Parcel Service Inc (UPS.N), which also has a stake in Arrival.
“We have a great partnership with UPS… and we hope to replicate that success with Uber as we develop the best possible product for transport vehicles,” said Arrival’s senior vice president, Tom Elvidge, a former Uber manager, in a statement.
The Arrival car will use the “Platform for Small Vehicles,” as the startup mentioned in its presentation to investors before going public. Arrival stated that the car would be “affordable,” but did not disclose the price.
