As part of its efforts to boost sustainable logistics in India, FedEx has deployed an additional 13 Tata Ace electric vehicles in Mumbai for last-mile delivery services.
The additional vehicles bring FedEx’s total number of EVs in operation across Indian cities to 59 and align with the company’s goal to achieve carbon-neutral operations globally by 2040.
“FedEx was the first global delivery company to introduce hybrid-electric vehicles back in 2003, and our journey with battery-powered vehicles began even earlier in 1994,” explained Suvendu Choudhury, vice president operations and planning and engineering, India, FedEx.
“Building on this legacy, we’re proud to do our part in reducing emissions and advancing sustainable logistics in India. Our phased, pragmatic approach to fleet electrification ensures we continue to deliver for our customers while minimizing our carbon footprint.”
