New Delhi: Hero Lectro, the EV arm of the Hero Motors Company (HMC), today announced new partnerships with logistics service providers Fast Despatch Logistics and Turtle Mobility as part of a new ecosystem to enable greater use of e-mobility in last mile delivery. Under the partnership, Hero Lectro’s E Cargo bikes will be rolled out into the last mile delivery space by Fast Despatch Logistics.
While Fast Despatch Logistics (FDL) is a global last mile delivery logistics company which has recently marked its entry in India, Turtle Mobility is a startup that offers solutions for last mile delivery logistics needs including vehicles on lease.
Under the agreement between the parties, Hero Lectro’s E Cargo bikes are being procured by Turtle Mobility to be given out on lease to FDL. Fast Despatch Logistics also has plans to augment its fleet of E-bikes to up to 15,000 by the end of this year.
Notably, Hero Lectro recently launched its first E Cargo Bike Hero Lectro WINN and plans to introduce another E Cargo Bike shortly for India’s rapidly growing last mile delivery space which lacks purpose-built cargo vehicles. A light engineered E Bike with specially crafted storage and payload capacity such as Hero Lectro WINN offers a highly cost-effective solution by significantly lowering the cost per litre of goods storage space. With WINN, delivery agents can overcome the challenge of load limit associated with motorized two wheelers as well as performance anxiety associated with other Electric Vehicles.
