Gogoro brings GoShare, the electric mobility sharing service, to Taichung City.
Gogoro has partnered with TSMC and Taichung City Taiwan to launch GoShare in the second most populated city of Taiwan.
A global technology leader in battery swapping ecosystems, Gogoro announced its partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) and Taichung City Taiwan to launch GoShare, Gogoro’s electric mobility sharing service for the residents of Taichung City.
The new partnership includes three key initiatives:
- Gogoro GoShare Smartscooters will be available 24/7 to Taichung City’s residents.
- GoShare will provide exclusive riding coupons to 50,000 freshers in 17 universities in Taichung City.
- GoShare will expand its coverage to neighboring cities and connect multiple railway stations, playing a key role in shaping a robust urban transportation network.
In addition, TSMC joins the GoShare for Business platform to encourage employees to ride electric scooters for daily commutes. More than 60,000 TSMC employees will enjoy exclusive discounts for every GoShare ride.
Since 2019, GoShare has 1.6 million registered users in seven cities and has hosted 20 million rides that have saved 7 million kg of CO2 emissions, making it the most popular and impactful electric mobility sharing service in Taiwan.
Horace Luke, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Gogoro, said: Sustainable energy and transportation are the future, especially in densely populated cities. It is a natural step for Gogoro and a global leader like TSMC and a visionary city like Taichung to come together to provide residents with Gogoro’s two-wheel electric sharing service, GoShare. Together, TSMC, Taichung City, and Gogoro are bringing a new era of sustainable urban transportation to Taichung’s nearly 3 million residents, including subsidized access to more than 50,000 university students and more than 60,000 TSMC employees. This sets a new standard for cities across Taiwan and Asia that want to encourage sustainable transportation.
Lora Ho, Senior Vice President and ESG Committee Chairperson at TSMC, said: This partnership with Taichung City and Gogoro is in line with our commitment to a sustainable future. Such an ambition can only be achieved if multiple stakeholders work together, so today marks another major milestone in our journey as we combine TSMC’s wide reach in Taiwan, Taichung’s commitment to sustainability, with the leadership of Gogoro in electric mobility to accelerate change and share the benefits of electric vehicles with more consumers.
