The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the logistics sector is a great initiative in transportation.

According to NITI Aayog and Rocky Mountain Institute reports, India can reduce logistics costs by 4% of its GDP and save 10 Gigatonne of CO2 by 2030 by implementing technologies such as electric vehicles. After seeing reports, we can say EVs are the future of the logistics sector. Since EVs are cost-effective and sustainable, companies such as Handover , are investing huge money for full-scale adoption of EVs for their logistic requirements.
