The logistics industry is currently taking significant strides to seamlessly integrate electric vehicles (EVs) into its operations. This involves actively converting and expanding vehicle fleets to gradually replace diesel and petrol vehicles with electric models, with an initial focus on short-haul and urban deliveries to overcome range limitations. While there has been historical hesitation in adopting new technologies due to perceived complexity and unreliability, the shift to EVs offers the significant advantage of being environmentally friendly. Over the past five years, EVs have gained considerable traction.
A report by NITI Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute reveals that India has the potential to achieve a 4 percent reduction in logistics costs as a percentage of GDP and save 10 GT of CO2 emissions by 2030 through the implementation of clean technologies, including electric vehicles. Supply chain companies increasingly view electric vehicles as a more viable option than ICE vehicles for last-mile deliveries or short hauls due to their economic benefits. At the core of this transition lies infrastructure development, with companies heavily investing in the installation of charging stations at logistics hubs, warehouses, and key delivery points. Collaborative efforts with government and private entities are critical to establishing a widespread and efficient charging network, ensuring that vehicles are consistently ready for use.
In conclusion, the logistics industry has successfully integrated electric vehicles into its operations and is poised to further expand with the support of government and like-minded stakeholders.
