Snap-E Cabs initiates women's representation among drivers

Women drivers in Snap-E: Snap-E Cabs, an app-based electric vehicle (EV) fleet service, has unveiled plans to augment its workforce with an influx of women cab drivers. The company aims to onboard approximately 100 women drivers in the coming months, with an initial batch of 30 women set to undergo training.

In a bid to foster inclusivity and diversify its driver base, Snap-E Cabs is collaborating with NPTC Group of Colleges, UK, to execute a specialised training programme. This initiative falls under the 'Utkarsh Bangla' scheme, spearheaded by the Paschim Banga Society for Skill Development.

The partnership with NPTC Group of Colleges will leverage UK expertise in EV operations and maintenance. The programme will equip drivers with essential skills to maintain optimal battery conditions and enhance the efficiency of the electric vehicle fleet. This training initiative receives support from the UK-India 'Accelerating Smart Power and Renewable Energy in India' (ASPIRE) programme.
