The 'Emission Savings' feature offers several functionalities to users: ? Users can access the feature by tapping on 'Estimated CO2 saved' in the Account section of the Uber app, allowing them to see the emissions saved by choosing Uber Green. ? To help users better understand their emissions savings, the feature includes a graphic illustrating what their CO2 emission savings are equivalent to. ? The emissions saved for an Uber Green trip represent the estimated amount of CO2 emissions avoided, on average, compared to an Uber Premier trip covering the same distance.

Overall, Uber India's introduction of 'Emission Savings' underscores the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and its efforts to empower users to make eco-conscious transportation choices.
