Hero Electric Partners With Shree Maruti Courier To Launch Green Energy Supply Chain

Hero Electric has announced its partnership with the Ahmedabad based, Shree Maruti Courier Services, to convert their fleet across 5 cities to electric scooters. One of India's largest logistics companies headquartered out of Ahmedabad kicked-off a pilot project across Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai and became the first company in the courier and logistic sector to initiate a novel concept of creating a green energy supply chain. The company plans to expand this service into 20 cities and to add more than 500 E-bikes in the financial year 2021.

Speaking about the association, Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric said, “It has been our endeavor to partner with more and more businesses to convert their fleets into electric two-wheelers. We are happy to have partnered with Shree Maruti Couriers who are among the largest in our country to create this green corridor with our bikes. The new Nyx-HX series is flexible, modular and versatile to answer most of the needs of a discerning customer. We will thus be able to offer longer mileage ranging from 82km per charge to an incredible 210kms per charge to address the last mile deliveries.’’   

Speaking about the initiative, Ajay Mokariya, Managing Director, Shree Maruti Courier Services Pvt Ltd said "We have launched a pilot project in the five cities in India and the response for the same has been very encouraging. The courier and logistics industry are very price sensitive and fuel cost is an essential element in our business. With the E-bike adoption, we would be able to reduce the fuel cost significantly, contribute to reducing carbon footprints, and provide competitive services compare to the traditional delivery tools. The delivery persons will also find it easy and comfortable to deliver the parcels within the city. This model seems more sustainable and cost-efficient for us and we are planning to roll-out the same in multiple cities in a coming time".
