The country top e-two-wheeler company Hero Electric and tech-enabled electric vehicle-based logistics company EVIFY have entered into a tie-up, which will allow the former to deploy 1,000 electric scooters to the latter's fleet over the next two years.
According to a statement from Hero Electric, the first 50 vehicles to be supplied to EVIFY have already gone into production and will be delivered by next month.
Further, by the year-end, Hero Electric will deliver 500 more EVs to EVIFY in many tier-2/3 3 cities.
Hero Electric, as befitting the top two-wheeler EV company in the country, has been sewing up interesting deals with multiple partners for improving charging infra and also introducing battery swapping platforms.
In the last one month or so, Hero Electric has worked up partnerships with companies like Bolt, ElectricPe, and Log9 for improving charging infrastructure in the country. It has entered into an agreement with Sun Mobility to offer battery-swappable e-scooters.
More mainstreaming of two-wheeler EVs
Now, Hero Electric is entering into deals to further mainstream its electric two-wheelers.
"B2B partnerships will enable the EV industry to exchange and utilize partner expertise and strengths to work toward the Zero-Emission vision. Fostering this vision, we have partnered with EVIFY to support their vision of electrifying the last mile delivery segment," Hero Electric CEO Sohinder Gill stated.
The company will leverage its resources and support more such partners, he added.
"We see massive potential in the ongoing EV revolution becoming a major factor in enabling the transformation of logistics solutions. This partnership will help us reimagine the EV logistics landscape in India," EVIFY CEO Devrishi Arora said.
EVIFY’s goal is to lead and transform India’s D2C/FMCG/E-commerce last mile delivery to be electric and environment-benign. The company also intends to use solar power to charge their EVs and to begin Green Warehousing in the future. EVIFY has already achieved 1,25,000+ green kms and 30,000+ green deliveries through March 31, 2022, thereby saving around 10,000kg Co2 emission in the environment.
EVIFY recently joined forces with Swiggy in Surat, Gujarat to help the food delivery giant go completely electric and opt for a sustainable way of delivery. EVIFY is hoping to expand this partnership to other cities soon. EVIFY intends to upscale its platform more extensively by adding Geofencing, customised BMS, telematics, client insights and driver & fleet management.
