Logistics are an important part of our on-the-go lifestyle. It is, in fact, the backbone of many flourishing industries. From procurement to packaging, logistics covers all the processes a business has in place to get its goods from the point of origin to the destination. ’Green logistics’ is relatively a new term that is doing the rounds. But what exactly is green logistics and why is important to today’s world?
Logistics, particularly transportation, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the European Environment Agency, logistics will account for up to 40 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Hence, sustainability in logistics has become increasingly important and that’s when green logistics come into the picture!
Green logistics refers to the sustainable policies that aim to reduce the environmental impact of such activities. Using fuel-efficient vehicles, implementing sustainable packaging solutions, and improving inventory management are all important elements of green logistics.
National Logistics Day is a momentous occasion to recognize the indispensable role of electric and other fuel-efficient vehicles. Extending greetings on this occasion, Aditya Singh Ratnu, Founder & CEO, ZEVO says, “In celebration of National Logistics Day, ZEVO reaffirms its commitment to revolutionizing India’s supply chain through sustainable electric mobility.

At ZEVO, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation, paving the way for a zero-emission future, ensuring that our logistics practices contribute positively to the planet we all share.”
EVs significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Many companies are adopting EVs to meet their sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals, as well as to comply with stricter environmental regulations. In the coming years, the demand for sustainable practices continues to grow and the role of electric vehicles in logistics is set to expand.
