Movin, a logistics brand launched as a joint venture between UPS and InterGlobe Enterprises, has added Electric Vehicles (EV) to its fleet for the first and last-mile deliveries.
With the objective to reduce carbon emissions, aligning with its long-term sustainability goals, the deployment of the EVs begins with Delhi-NCR and will subsequently be covering Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Pune by end of 2023.
With the gradual strengthening of the charging infrastructure by the State Governments, the company will plan to grow its fleet size in its key markets. The company is aiming to mitigate 200 tonne of CO2 emissions within the next 12 months with the EV deployment. Each EV has the capacity to carry weight up to 850 kgs and can cover a distance of 120 km on a single charge.
JB Singh, Director, Movin Express, said, “As a new age climate-conscious brand launched in 2022, we are excited to announce the introduction of commercial EVs as our first and last mile fleet in the five metros by December 2023. By embracing this transition towards adopting an electric fleet from ICEs, we not only contribute to a cleaner and greener future but also enhance the efficiency and reliability of our logistics operations.”
Gregory Goba Ble, Vice President, UPS, said, “This is an exciting new chapter for us. We’re speeding up our journey to decarbonise our operations at Movin Express. Our global fleet today includes over 15,600 alternate fuel and advanced technology vehicles. Impactful, climate-conscious solutions like this are good for our business, good for our customers and good for the world we all live in.”
