Uber Eats has partnered with a French startup called Cosmo Connected to secure deliverers’ bike movements in France. Cosmo Connected is an expert in mobile people’s security. With this partnership, couriers using the Uber Eats application will have the opportunity to use the Cosmo Bike product developed by Cosmo connected.
Uber Eats has grown considerably since its initial launch in March 2016. With this application, more than 8,000 restaurants can deliver meals in less than 30 minutes, in 60 French agglomerations. This was possible thanks to the courier partners who roam every day these agglomerations by bicycle. The safety of the deliverers ‘ movements is a priority, said the company.
Cosmo Bike has several options for securing movements:
- Blinkers to indicate when turning right or left
- Brake light: to indicate deceleration at eye level
- Tail light: a continuous light to be seen at all times under all circumstances
- Warning light: warns other road users of a potential hazard
“We are delighted to be able to offer this partnership with Cosmo Connected to all courier partners who use the Uber Eats application. The safety of couriers is our priorities and this connected solution perfectly meets the visibility and safety needs of the courier partners.”Bastien Pahus, director of Operations couriers, Uber Eats France.
