12:31 PM EDT, 08/20/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Uber Technologies ( UBER ) has hired former Tesla executive Rebecca Tinucci to oversee its shift to electric vehicles, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing an internal company announcement it obtained.
Tinucci will run Uber's ( UBER ) transition to a zero-emissions platform, as the ride-hailing company is aiming for all of its rides and deliveries to be made using zero-emission vehicles by 2040, according to the report.
At Tesla, Tinucci helped sign charging-station deals with carmakers like Ford Motor (F) and Rivian Automotive (RIVN) that allowed thousands of drivers to access Tesla's previously proprietary network of Superchargers, Bloomberg reported.
