Infrastructure Today Magazine | Mahindra Logistics launches all-electric last-mile delivery service

Mahindra Logistics launches all-electric last-mile delivery service

Web Exclusive  /  Jan 07, 2021

Mahindra Logistics Ltd (MLL), an integrated third-party logistics (3PL) service provider, announced the launch of its cargo last-mile delivery service under the brand name ‘EDel’. Recognised for its 3PL services, MLL enters into a new service line of sustainable last-mile logistics and fulfilment with EDel for customers in e-commerce, consumer goods and other markets.

EDel will initially operate across six major cities in India including Bengaluru, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata, before expanding to a total of 14 cities in the next 12 months. 

Commenting on the launch Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director & CEO, Mahindra Logistics Ltd, said, “EDel exemplifies our collective vision of the future of mobility – a sustainable ecosystem that brings logistics solutions to customers across the world. Demand for last-mile services continues to grow across India, and we believe electric vehicles provide an ideal long-term solution for the emerging imperatives around sustainability and cost-effectiveness. EDel is a key lever of our approach to sustainability.”

The operating model and utilisation metrics of electric vehicles (EVs) today enable EDel to provide sustainable and competitive services when compared with a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) powered solutions. EDel will provide multiple offerings including package and trip-based services. These offerings will provide customers a scalable, sustainable and cost-efficient solution.

With a load capacity and enhanced range that compares well with existing ICE options, EDel will give customers in the e-commerce, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, consumer durables and electronics industries a significant edge in efficient and responsible distribution and last-mile delivery solutions. EDel will deploy a fleet of EVs starting with three-wheeler vehicles, designed for cargo applications. The fleet will be deployed by MLL in collaboration with its supply partners. MLL will also be establishing a network of dedicated charging infrastructure for its EV operations under EDel with a connected telematics platform to enable customer experience, vehicle and battery utilisation, and network management. 

EDel is focused on deploying a fleet of 1,000 vehicles in the first phase of expansion. The initial focus will be on three-wheeler cargo applications and EDel will primarily utilise the Treo Zor EV by Mahindra Electric. In the future, MLL will also evaluate expanding to the four-wheeler and other electric delivery options. 

Already operational in Bengaluru, services will be rolled out in New Delhi and the other four cities in the first phase of its launch.

Three Lines Shipping says:
Agree. Developing a domestic transshipment port is a good idea if we talk about seaports, there are several countries and commercial centers around the world that don’t have a seaport and these countries have to use the seaports of other countries in order to import or export their cargo, which will give a competitive advantage.

Adhering to international best business practices with niche boutique firms could open doors to easily tap financing from institutional investors both debt and equity.
