Strengthening its GoGreen mission, Blue Dart Express Ltd., South Asia’s premier express air and integrated transportation & Distribution Company, today piloted electric vehicles in Gurugram, another step towards operating 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.
It has been Blue Dart’s constant endeavor to provide customers with environmentally friendly solutions that help make their supply chains greener. With Delhi/NCR reaching the hazardous PM2.5 levels that are 10 times higher than the safety limit prescribed by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Blue Dart has decided to launch this first initiative in the National Capital Region (NCR).
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. Blue Dart’s GoGreen Mission is aligned to the Government of India’s NEMMP (National Electric Mobility Mission Plan, 2013) and FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles, 2015) submitted under the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The launch of electric vehicles is in line with Deutsche Post DHL (DPDHL) Group’s Sustainable Strategy and climate protection goal ‘Zero Emissions 2050’.”
The electric vehicles are being piloted in Gurugram and will be subsequently inducted across Blue Dart country.
