The logistics industry is advancing rapidly and has completely rewritten the standards of trucking. Recently, more companies have started to pay attention to the type of vehicle they use for their deliveries and how they can improve their efficiency.
Electric vehicles or EVs have been a clean and efficient solution that is revolutionizing the logistics industry. As electric vehicles have become more accessible, their impact on the supply chain has increased.
Until now, logistics companies have used internal combustion vehicles for their transport. These vehicles release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, reduce air quality, and are expensive to maintain. Electric vehicles have proven to be a worthwhile investment. Thanks to government aid in recent years and various economic factors, the use of sustainable vehicles by companies has been increasing.
These vehicles are versatile and suitable for many types of cargo transportation and package delivery. They are really effective in last mile deliveries due to their high maneuverability and low carbon footprint. They also become a significant added value by promoting continuous savings in normal use and maintenance, also improving the efficiency of the routes. In short, an innovative and sustainable long-term investment.
Benefits of using electric vehicles
As the use of electric vehicles becomes more widespread, more companies are recognizing their many advantages for transportation and package delivery.
Economic
Compared to combustion vehicles, electric vehicles have significantly lower fuel costs. With less energy cost per kilometer, greater profitability. Maintenance costs are also lower due to its simpler mechanical systems that require little regular maintenance.
Efficient
They are also incredibly efficient in terms of power, torque and performance. Electric vehicles convert more than 77% of the grid's electrical energy into driving power, compared to gasoline vehicles that only convert between 12% and 30%. Plus, they use less energy in stop-and-go city traffic. With no exhaust, they run smoother and quieter, reducing noise pollution.
environmental friendly
Electric vehicles also have substantial environmental benefits due to the use of renewable energy. They produce zero emissions, reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the air and reduce energy dependence on fossil fuels. Each year, the carbon footprint of electric vehicle production continues to shrink as manufacturers prioritize electricity from hydroelectric, solar or wind plants, which do not create air pollutants.
