Delhivery eyes 20,000 intracity vehicles in five years

Mumbai: Delhivery expects its intracity fleet to expand to nearly 20,000 vehicles over the next four-five years from 12,000–13,000 currently. The logistics company plans to make electric vehicles the only option for new additions, as it seeks to contain transportation costs and reduce impact from volatile fuel prices.

The move comes as rising fuel, labour and other operating expenses put pressure on fleet economics. Fleet operating costs increased 7–10% across operators, depending on their sourcing and operating models, chief operating officer, In City Operations Prashant Gazipur said in an interview with ET.
