Maersk has announced to have tied up with a large e-Commerce platform in India to support its distribution requirements with a dedicated fleet of EVs with a load-carrying capacity of 550 to 700 kg and with a driving range of over 120 km.
Over 200 vehicles have already been deployed across 15 cities, and more than 300 EVs will be deployed in the next two months in another 11 cities across India for the e-Commerce platform.
In September 2022, Maersk unveiled its three-wheeler and four-wheeler EVs in Mumbai, India and soon rolled them out for its first customer in the NCR region.
Vikash Agarwal, Managing Director, Maersk South Asia, noted that India is a large market with a constantly growing demand for distribution logistics. E-Commerce has particularly seen unprecedented growth in India over the last few years and has tremendous potential to keep growing in the coming years.
Jitendra Kapoor, Head of Middle Mile and Last Mile Distribution, Maersk South Asia, noted that with a range of EVs available in the fleet, the company is able to provide our customers the option to choose depending on the commodities they want to move and in the radius that they want to operate in.
Maersk is ambitious to be Net Zero across business and provide customers with 100% green solutions by 2040.
