Uber is providing vehicles to deliver supplies to war-torn areas of Ukraine

Uber is providing a fleet of small vehicles to help the UN deliver emergency food and water supplies to war-torn areas of Ukraine. As part of a collaboration with the UN's World Food Programme (WFP), Uber is using a custom-built version of its platform for relief efforts. Larger vehicles face issues reaching in-need Ukrainians in built-up areas, such as structural damage and high threat of Russian bombardment. So the initiative is using a fleet of smaller vehicles such as vans to send relief items from warehouses to people in need in densely populated parts of the country. Just like any ride on the Uber app, the progress of deliveries can be tracked in real-time through a special'private-label' version of its app platform.
