LetsTransport To Bring 1,000 EVs on its Platform by Next Year

  • Its EV fleet includes three-wheeler vehicles from Piaggio, Etrio, ETO, Altigreen and Kinetic, with a payload capacity of 500 kgs and these operate either with fixed batteries and swappable battery systems
  • The primary deployment of these EVs are in intracity, last-mile logistics for e-commerce, retail, FMCG and third-party logistics distribution sectors

LetsTransport said it will increase the number of electric vehicles (EV) on its platform to 1,000 by June 2022. It commenced EV-led operations in Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai currently has a 100-vehicle strong EV fleet and it will introduce EVs to its fleet in Chennai, Pune and Kolkata, LetsTransport said in a statement.

Its EV fleet includes three-wheeler vehicles from Piaggio, Etrio, ETO, Altigreen and Kinetic, with a payload capacity of 500 kgs and these operate either with fixed batteries and swappable battery systems. It said that the new vehicles are expected to also include four-wheelers with a payload capacity of up to 2 tonnes. The primary deployment of these EVs are in intracity, last-mile logistics for e-commerce, retail, FMCG and third-party logistics distribution sectors.

LetsTransport Co-Founder & CEO Pushkar Singh said that they are working with our customers to build cleaner and sustainable logistics solutions. With low operational and maintenance costs, we expect EV to play a pivotal role in intra-city and last-mile logistics, and they are well prepared for it. In augmenting its fleet, the company is also contributing to strengthening the EV ecosystem by enabling financing of EVs, setting up charging infrastructure as well as enabling a marketplace for resale of EVs in the near future, he added.
