Rapido, India’s leading bike, auto, and cab aggregator platform, has partnered with TotalEnergies India Private Limited (TEMIPL) to boost the earnings and well-being of Rapido’s auto captains, beginning with immediate fuel savings of up to 12% and advancing the use of Auto LPG as a cleaner fuel in six South Indian cities.
