Kuehne+Nagel launches EVs to ferry cargo at MIAL

To reduce its carbon footprint and progress towards a sustainable future and Greener India, global logistics giant, Kuehne+Nagel has launched electric vehicle services at the Mumbai International Airport Ltd. (MIAL). The Indian-made electric vehicle ‘Mahindra Treo Zor’ will shuttle air cargo between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and Kuehne+Nagel’s Mumbai Airport warehouse. The use of the EVs is expected to result in a reduction of 24.7 tonnes vehicular CO2 emissions each year, thus reducing the company’s overall carbon footprint. Marcel Fujike, SVP, Global Head Products & Services Air Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel, said in an official statement, “As an environmentally and socially responsible organisation, Kuehne+Nagel is proud to use EVs in India for its airport transfers to offer green logistics solutions and reduce carbon emissions. Our customers have benefited from the global availability of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) since last year, and we continue to develop sustainable solutions for a fully carbon neutral transport journey. The introduction of EV airport transfer is the next phase in our transition to low-carbon, door-to-door air transportation, with more sustainable services to follow.”
