THE PUNE office of India Post on Friday launched electric vehicles for swift parcel delivery in the city. This is the first time that the postal department has launched e-vehicles for doorstep delivery in Maharashtra, especially for large consignments.
The first batch of vehicles will operate for deliveries to be made from the nodal delivery centre in Chinchwad East Post Office of Pune region.
“We launched this initiative as our commitment for leveraging the consequential environmental benefits and also in consonance with the Electric Vehicle Policy envisaged by the Government of India. If the pilot proves to be successful, we will look at extending it to many other post offices in the city,” said G Madhumita Das, Postmaster General, Pune Region.
