Bengaluru: In a move aligned with its global Net Zero ambitions, ABB India has begun integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into its intra-city logistics operations, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable transport practices.

The initiative, launched at ABB's Smart Power factory in Nelamangala and its distribution centre in Hanchipura, involves the use of EVs for transporting finished goods and raw materials, as well as for last-mile deliveries within Bengaluru. Senior company officials, including Kiran Dutt (Electrification Commercial Lead), Saju SR (Market Unit Manager), and Sergio Silvestri (Hub Manager, Electrification Smart Power), were present at the flag-off ceremony.

A parallel development in Peenya saw the deployment of ABB India's first electric truck dedicated to internal logistics. The vehicle was inaugurated by Tuomo Hoysniemi, President of ABB Drive Products, alongside Local Division Manager AR Madhusudan.

The adoption of EVs is expected to contribute significantly to reducing Scope-3 emissions—indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain—and reflects ABB's broader commitment to building a low-carbon future. “This step underscores our continued leadership in integrating sustainability into core industrial operations,” a company spokesperson said.

ABB India’s latest move comes amid growing emphasis across industries on decarbonising supply chains and aligns with international climate goals.
