Jeff Bezos was in India last week. During his three-day visit, he announced the company's roadmap for India, which includes a $1 billion investment for digitising small and medium-businesses. He also announced initiatives to help SMBs in the country to export goods worth $10 million by 2025. Bezos also made some surprise appearances including delivering a package at a Kirana Store in Mumbai. While Bezos' trip is already over, his list of surprises for India isn't.

On Monday, the Amazon chief shared a short video on his official Twitter account announcing his last surprise for India: a fleet of electric delivery vehicles.

The video shared by Bezos shows a fleet of charcoal-coloured delivery vehicles with an environment friendly message. "Hey, India. We're rolling out our new fleet of electric delivery rickshaws. Fully electric. Zero carbon. #ClimatePledge," Bezos wrote on his Twitter account indicating that these electric vehicles will help the company, well, deliver goods, and reduce its global carbon footprint.

Notably, neither Bezos nor Amazon India has elaborated as to when these electric delivery vehicles will hit the streets in India or where they will be deployed. However, the announcement hints that it wouldn't be long.
