  • 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.
