EVET, the integrated electric mobility, charging and technology vertical, has announced its strategic partnerships with various companies in the food industry. As a part of this collaboration, EVET will encourage the use of an electric fleet for food delivery. In addition to this, this partnership also marks EVET’s debut in mid-mile deliveries.
This is a great step for the electrification of mobility in the food delivery business, which includes food industrial/corporate catering, cloud kitchens, bakeries, and so on. This partnership in the food industry currently in Bengaluru will be expanded to other cities in the coming months. As of today, EVET runs a fleet of over 400 electric vehicles throughout many cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
By 2023, EVET commits to make commercial deliveries spanning over a million kilometres per month through EVs. Currently, the company is operating last-mile deliveries for leading eCommerce delivery businesses. These efforts are a statement to operate more sustainably, go pollution-free and contribute towards the creation of a robust EV ecosystem.
For maximum utilisation of vehicles by clients, EVET has deployed electric three-wheelers with larger loading capacity and DC fast charging capabilities. In addition to this, the fleet also gets AI and IOT enabled tech integrated with EVET’s proprietary Fleet Management System. This helps the rider get real-time data for track and trace, dedicated service support, and operational enablement. EVET also invests in regular driver training and certification programmes supported by local RTOs.
With the push for a more sustainable transport system, EVs are getting increasingly popular in the market. Food deliveries being an emerging and highly in demand segment, is witnessing a surge in demand for last-mile deliveries. This is where EVET’s integrated electric fleet, technology and charging solutions come into play. Deliveries on EVs will reduce the cost of running delivery trucks by up to 20 – 40 per cent, thus benefiting various partners with larger pay-outs. EVET has deployed around 100 EVET vehicles for food delivery along with the prerequisite charging network.
