Scaling Your Business with a Robust EV Fleet and Nationwide Infrastructure

With businesses steadily relooking at sustainable mobility, carbon-neutrality stands as a key factor. This dramatic emphasis on a carbon-neutral approach has led to increased adoption of EV vehicles by India’s commercial sector. As we uncover the need for this transformation, there also rises the need for a widespread EV infrastructure. If charging stations are evenly distributed across urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, nationwide reach seems achievable. Likewise, given that EV delivery attains the same degree of reach as ICE fleets, it can significantly aid green logistics practices.

In this blog, let us comprehend how businesses can upscale their operations and advance towards a cost-effective and greener revolution with a resilient EV ecosystem. By discussing the critical roadblocks for businesses upgrading to EV for delivery, we revisit them from a problem-solving perspective.

Eliminate Range Anxiety with Reliable Urban & Remote EV Operations
As we observe advancements in battery technology and expansion in infrastructure, there is a surging pressure on EVs to match the operational costs and efficiency of ICE fleets. Especially when connecting with high-density city centers and distant remote destinations, having a dependable EV ecosystem can bring out operational excellence. With the time-sensitive pharma industry, fluctuating apparel market, and eCommerce sector with rapidly growing demands, various providers struggle with range anxiety and delayed deliveries.
eDeL by Mahindra Logistics, our tailored suite of solutions, prioritises industry-wise demands, extending a diverse EV fleet with up to 1500+ EVs (2W, 3W, & 4W) covering 6000+ pin codes and 200+ last-mile stations. With Pan India services, our eDeL EV last mile delivery solutions enable the achievement of lower TAT, placement efficiency, visibility, cost neutrality, regulatory compliance, damage-free, and pilferage-free delivery. While our 3W EVs are best suitable for high-density areas, they cater to last-mile and middle-mile transportation in 30+ cities across India. On the other hand, our 4W EVs are widely used for multiple SKUs with volumetric items. With a vast range, it is an ideal setup for cold chain, middle line, milk run, and last-mile transportation.
Breaking Infrastructural Limitations with a Robust Nationwide Charging Network
Without a developed EV infrastructure, businesses have a hard time reaching remote or distant places. Inadequate charging and upkeep facilities severely hamper accessibility. Vice versa, an expanding EV infrastructure is crucial to meet delivery schedules, faster turnaround times, accessibility, and efficiency.
Helping customers overcome infrastructural limitations, we offer EV last-mile delivery solutions backed by 70+ charging stations across India. A network ensuring optimised delivery routes, boosted efficiency, and increased uptime.
Simplifying Fleet Deployment with Compliance in Check
For businesses transitioning to EV, the most challenging aspect has to be the compliance and setup. Easing this shift, eDeL by Mahindra Logistics deduces the compliance complexities. Enlisted below are the perks that come with our fleet deployment procedure:
● 100% Vahan-compliant

Furthermore, the 3-days deployment in 30+ cities is a proposition that brings in nationwide reach with little to no wait time.
Overcoming Operational Disruptions with Maintained EV Fleet Efficiency
As drastic as the switch to EV for delivery is, managing a fleet with minimal misrouting, disruptions, and delays is one of the biggest challenges. What businesses desperately need is a way to streamline their deliveries with constant monitoring, increased vehicle uptime, and optimised routes.
Fortunately, Mahindra Logistics’ eDeL—an EV last mile delivery solution—acts as a guiding force for businesses through this transition. With our IOT-enabled system, brands can monitor EV vehicles, charging status, the lifespan of an EV, GPS tracking, CO₂ emissions, and much more.
