EV transition of fleets by companies is 'very important' to 'somewhat important' in reducing air pollution and emissions, according to a study released by Sustainability Mobility Network (SMN) on Monday. The study, 'Consumer Perceptions & Insights in the Last Mile Delivery Sector for the Transition to Electric Vehicles (EV)', has also concluded that more than 80 per cent of respondents from Bengaluru are willing to switch to a brand with strong emission reduction commitments.
Last-mile delivery refers to the transportation of goods from its distribution hub to the door of the customer. As of 2024, the last mile delivery sector alone is responsible for the emission of 5 lakh tonnes of CO2, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
In Karnataka, apart from Bengaluru, consumers from Hubli-Dharwad were also surveyed.
SMN released the report in a webinar organised to commemorate World EV Day.
September 9 is observed as World EV Day, dedicated to spreading the message that electric vehicles are not just a choice but a vital component of a sustainable and promising future.
