Launches electric vehicle fleet powered distribution hub
CityLink, a leading technology-enabled logistics startup in Bengaluru, has deployed electric vehicles to provide last-mile logistics for WayCool Foods for its newly inaugurated fresh food distribution hub in Bomanahalli, at Bengaluru’s electronic city. This distribution hub is the first-of-its-kind to have a 100 per cent EV fleet. To start, CityLink has deployed 20 electric vehicles.
Puneet Prashant, Co-founder and CEO, City Link said “We believe that besides being environment friendly, EVs are expected to drive ROI and bring down delivery costs when compared to existing alternatives.”
Amrit Bajapai, COO, WayCool Foods, said, “WayCool runs one of the most efficient food supply chains in the country. We believe in walking the talk on creating climate-resilient and yet profitable supply chains and our partnership with CityLink is another step towards the same. This 100 per cent EV fleet powered fresh distribution hub is our third facility in Bengaluru. We will be electrifying 40 per cent of our entire fleet in FY23 that operates across 500+ locations in southern and western India moving over 900 tonne of food every day.”
