Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER - Free Report) recently announced the appointment of Rebecca Tinucci, Tesla, Inc.’s (TSLA - Free Report) former head of charging, effective Sep 16, 2024.
Per a reuters report, Tinucci will be joining as Uber's global head of sustainability to help manage the company's transition to a zero-emission platform. She will be reporting to Andrew Macdonald, head of Uber's mobility business.
In her new role, Tinucci will supervise Uber’s transition to a zero-emission platform. Notably, Uber is aiming to completely electrify its entire vehicle fleet by 2040 with plans to invest $800 million through 2025 to help reach its goal. Uber is also working to eliminate unnecessary plastic waste from restaurant deliveries and to use more sustainable packaging.
Macdonald stated, "Her deep expertise, relationships across the automotive industry... will be an incredible asset to the Uber team as we continue to drive towards zero emissions."
