Vegease to deploy electric vehicles in last-mile logistics

In a bid to reduce the carbon footprint of its logistics operations and achieve sustainable growth, Vegease, the cart-at-home e-grocery startup has begun to deploy Electric Vehicles (EV) in its last-mile logistics. The company has just completed an initial pilot this month and will move completely to an electric fleet by 2024. Towards achieving this, Vegease has partnered with electric vehicle OEM, OBA for their three-wheeler evikas light commercial vehicles under a long term leasing model. The move will contribute to an operating cost reduction of 25 per cent. Vegease will add three-wheeler loaders with Li-ion battery which have a load capacity of 300 kgs. Since its inception in January 2021, Vegease has achieved a turnover of Rs 10 million, a customer base of over 18,000 in the Delhi/ncr region, with 5000 customers coming on board in April and May 2021 alone.
