Kuehne+Nagel India launches e- vehicles to decarbonise its road services

Kuehne+Nagel has partnered with Magenta Mobility to provide electric vehicles (EVs) for its road logistics operations in India. “As part of our Roadmap 2026 and Vision 2030 to become the most trusted supply chain partner supporting a sustainable future, the company is actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33% by the end of 2030 (compared to a 2019 baseline). Specifically for Road Logistics, the company aims to have 60% low-emission vehicles in its own fleet by 2030,” said Chellan Ganesan, Road Logistics Area Manager, Asia and the Pacific countries for Kuehne+Nagel. Maxson Lewis, Founder and CEO of Magenta Mobility, said, "This collaboration reinforces our responsibility to protect the environment and presents a significant opportunity to contribute to the growing EV ecosystem in India."

To catalyse widespread EV adoption, the government is implementing measures including tax incentives, production-linked incentives, and charging infrastructure development. Kuehne+Nagel actively contributes to this national commitment by electrifying its fleet in India, bolstering local companies and advancing sustainable transportation solutions.
