BLive is tackling the shortage of electric vehicles (EVs) by providing comprehensive solutions to last-mile delivery firms such as Zomato, according to the company.
Expanding on its successful partnership with Zomato, BLive, a multi-brand EV platform, has launched 30 Ather EVs for Zomato deliveries in Ahmedabad. This move is part of their plan to increase their EV fleet in 20 Indian cities, showcasing a mutual commitment to sustainability and a reduced carbon footprint in the delivery sector by transitioning from traditional vehicles to eco-friendly EVs. To combat the shortage of EVs, BLive offers comprehensive solutions to companies like Zomato, especially targeting Tier II cities to bridge the supply gap in last-mile delivery services. This strategic collaboration with Zomato began in July, initiating the EV venture in Hyderabad with an initial fleet, marking a notable advancement in sustainable food delivery in India.
