Blue Dart, South Asia’s leading express logistics company, announced a major expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) fleet. This strategic initiative highlights Blue Dart’s unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility and its ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
The expanded fleet now boasts over 480 electric vehicles, poised to significantly reduce Blue Dart’s environmental impact. By transitioning to EVs for last-mile deliveries, Blue Dart is estimated to reduce 15.05 tonnes of CO2 emissions per month. This represents a substantial step forward in their journey towards a more sustainable future.
Blue Dart’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond its own operations. As a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) ‘Climate Neutral Now’ (CNN) pledge, Blue Dart actively contributes to global climate action efforts. This reinforces their position as an industry leader committed to environmental stewardship.
Blue Dart’s Sustainability Roadmap encompasses a comprehensive and long-term approach. A key element of this roadmap is the company’s tree-planting initiative, with over 111,000 trees planted annually. Once the trees reach maturity, these efforts are projected to offset an additional 13,320 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
Blue Dart consistently strives to balance innovation with environmental responsibility. The adoption of electric vehicles marks a significant milestone in their sustainability journey. This commitment to clean and green logistics solutions positions Blue Dart as a frontrunner in shaping a more sustainable future for the express delivery industry. By implementing these impactful initiatives, Blue Dart demonstrates its leadership in environmental consciousness, setting a positive example for the industry at large.
