E-commerce giant Amazon India joined hands with Mahindra Electric in a bid to add more electric vehicles to its fleet of delivery vehicles in India.
Amazon announced that it will introduce around 10,000 units of electric vehicles in its fleet by 2025. The move comes in addition to the announcement of 100,000 EVs that Amazon plans to add globally, by 2030. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport & Highways, Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises, welcomed this step. He said, "The partnership between Amazon India and Mahindra Electric is a welcome step which reaffirms India's significant progress in the e-mobility industry and highlights the role of automakers and e-commerce companies to achieve our environmental sustainability goals."
Amazon will acquire Mahindra Treo Zor electric tri-wheeler for its delivery fleet. Mahindra's battery-powered e-rikshaw has already been deployed in seven cities so far including Bengaluru, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Indore and Lucknow with Amazon India's network of delivery partners.
