Amazon India announced a strategic partnership with electric mobility firm Gentari to advance its EV deployment program, aiming for a fleet of 10,000 electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries by 2025.
As part of this collaboration, Gentari Green Mobility Business will procure and deploy electric vehicles for Amazon India over the next three years. They will also provide comprehensive fleet management services to Amazon’s delivery service partners (DSPs) to ensure smooth operation and maintenance of the EV fleet.
The partnership will expand the availability of electric three-wheelers for Amazon deliveries, enhancing access for DSPs.
“Our aim is to support our delivery service partners by offering them appropriate electric vehicles, comprehensive vehicle lifecycle management services, and necessary charging and parking facilities,” stated Abhinav Singh, VP of Operations at Amazon India.
By the end of 2023, Amazon India had deployed over 7,200 EVs and remains on track to reach its target of 10,000 EVs in the domestic market by 2025.
Operating across 400 cities in India, Amazon is committed to contributing to the country’s net-zero targets through this collaboration. “As we work together to deploy more EVs, I am confident this partnership will lead to a cleaner and more electric future for India’s transportation sector,” stated Nikhil Thomas, CEO of Gentari Green Mobility India.
