Ltd) in Che nnai for electrification of last mile delivery fleet for e-Commerce and food delivery companies.

Entire World is facing severe climate crisis due to global warming today. The data shows that about 25% of Gre en House Gas Emission is due to transport sector and the governments globally are pushing the adoption of ele ctric vehicle to make transport much cleaner and greener. Government of India has brought FAME Scheme for faster adoption of EV in India. The EV Policy of Tamil Nadu also aims to create robust charging infrastructure and make Tamil Nadu a preferred destination for EV.
With the rapid increase in online deliveries, the demand for 2W for last mile delivery has increased. While on one hand it is providing employment to many people in last mile deliveries, one the other hand, it is emitting sig nificant amount of carbon footprints. ZeMP in association with Pegasus Green Mobility has vision to deploy more than 5,000 electric two wheelers in Chennai over the next two years which will help reduce significant carbon emission in last mile delivery segments.
Dr. J. Radhakrishnan, IAS, Principal Secretary to the Government of Tamil Nadu, said “Nice to be part of the laun ch of subscription-based e-bike mobility services project today evening. This has been undertaken by Greenifit and a number of partner organizations such as Parveen Travels, Hero Electric, Bguass, Etrio and also Institute of Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) as knowledge partner. It is expected to go a great way in giving fi llip to consumers by making a beginning with the emerchandise firms and their delivery persons benefitting fro m this subscription-based approach. This service is being provided through the ZeMP (Zero Emission Mobility Platform) platform.”
With electric mobility as the prime focus area of the Government, the faster adoption of EVs is dependent on av ailability of finance. With India registering more than 10 lakh EVs in past 2-3 years, there is a dearth of fina ncing resources for buying electric two wheelers for last time deliveries. ZeMP as an aggregator platform will help last mile deliveries partners to get easy subscription model to adopt electric two wheelers at convenience.
Vikash Sharda and Hitesh Hiran, Co-founders of Greenifit, informed that “ZeMP is launched in Chennai, Tamil Na du today with our OEM partners, and soon it will be rolled out to major cities across the country. Under Ze MP, we would be deploying charging and battery swapping infrastructure in these cities to decarbonize urban mob ility in a significant manner.”.
Mohammed Afzal, Chairman and Managing Director of Parveen Travels, said “since 2013 we have started work ing towards green mobility by planting saplings for each of the passengers travelling in our buses. We started ele ctric mobility services through Pegasus Green Mobility, and today we have partnered with Greenifit to enable el ectrification of last mile delivery in the state.
