Last-mile delivery
First e-commerce platform in India to introduce electric mobility for deliveries at scale.
Expected to replace nearly 40% of its last-mile delivery van fleet with electric vehicles with
goal of cutting carbon emissions by over 50%.

First mile is the distribution of an item from the manufacturer.

Middle mile involves long-distance transportation and includes going through customs, port
or hub storage and loading, and inland transportation. (for domestic orders, not all of these
steps are necessary.) It brings products to the final station before being loaded onto vehicles
for delivery.
Last mile, sometimes called final mile, is where the item is sent out from a local warehouse
or fulfilment centre for its final delivery to the customer.
