November 2, 2017: Blue Dart Express recently piloted electric vehicles in Gurugram in its bid to operate its last mile e-tail delivery service with clean pick-up and delivery solutions. The launch was inaugurated by Sukhwinder Singh, regional head – North, Blue Dart.

According to the company, the electric vehicle is “virtually noiseless” with a payload capacity of 500 kilogram or in other words can carry around 100 average sized shipments.

Speaking on the initiative, Anil Khanna, managing director, Blue Dart says, “Blue Dart has always adopted responsible business practices and green logistics solutions in its operations. We firmly believe that social and environmental performance of a company is as vital as its financial and operational performance. With the introduction of electric vehicles to our fleet, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint and move one step closer towards our GoGreen mission. We will continue working towards identifying every opportunity that can be capitalized on for strengthening our mission.”

The electric vehicles that are being piloted in Gurugram, will be subsequently inducted across the country.
