EKA Mobility has collaborated with IKEA to provide electric delivery vans for IKEA's last-mile delivery fleet in India.
EKA Mobility is supported by equity partners Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from Japan and VDL Groep from the Netherlands.
The partnership has begun with the delivery of 10 electric vans to IKEA, with plans for fleet expansion across multiple regions in India. The use of electric delivery vans is expected to reduce IKEA's carbon footprint in its logistics operations. EKA's electric vans feature battery technology designed for urban environments. This partnership aims to set an example for electric mobility adoption in the retail sector.
Rohit Srivastava, Chief Growth Officer, EKA Mobility, said, “Our partnership with IKEA represents a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize urban logistics through sustainable electric mobility solutions. By supplying IKEA with our advanced electric delivery vans, we are not only contributing to a cleaner environment but also showcasing the potential of electric vehicles in transforming the logistics industry. We are committed to continuing our collaboration with IKEA and look forward to expanding our efforts in the near future.”
Saiba Suri, Country Customer Fulfilment Manager, IKEA India said, “Our approach to sustainable logistics at IKEA India goes beyond adopting EVs. We are focused on building an efficient infrastructure, skill-building initiatives and future opportunities for all in the value chain. As we grow in India with an EV-first approach, IKEA India is now more prepared to address the challenges related to it and committed to investing in long-term, innovative solutions. We’re truly grateful for partners who share this vision with us. As we enter new markets, our priority is to ensure they are equipped for this change, laying the groundwork for the future of our supply chain.”
