DHL Express Indonesia has added 30 Wuling Mitra EV Blind Van Long\nRange vehicles to its operational fleet. The environmentally friendly\nvehicles will support goods deliveries in several major cities.<\/p>\n
The new fleet will be deployed to strengthen delivery operations in\nJakarta, Bandung, Semarang and Surabaya. The strategic move is also\nintended to reduce carbon emissions from day-to-day logistics\nactivities.<\/p>\n
The addition was marked by a vehicle handover ceremony at DHL Express\nIndonesia\u2019s facility in Halim, Jakarta. Twenty vehicles will operate in\nJakarta, eight in Surabaya, and one each in Bandung and Semarang.<\/p>\n
The move comes amid closer trade ties between countries and growing\nbusiness concern about environmental impacts. Companies are continuing\nto adapt to global market demands, which increasingly prioritise\nsustainability.<\/p>\n
According to the DHL Global Connectedness Report 2026, Indonesia has\nstrong trade ties with major economies in Asia and around the world. Its\nmost prominent links are with China, Singapore and the United\nStates.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the latest DHL Globalization Tracker data show that\nintra-Asian trade has continued to strengthen over time. This positive\ntrend is creating greater opportunities for Indonesian companies to\nexpand their access to regional and global markets.<\/p>\n
At the same time, environmental issues are becoming a major concern\nfor businesses in Indonesia. This growing awareness is encouraging\ncorporations to expand green initiatives across their operations and\nsupply chains.<\/p>\n
An industry study found that nearly three-quarters of organisations\nin Indonesia have dedicated budgets for environmental programmes. This\nreflects the importance companies are attaching to sustainability in\nbusiness decision-making.<\/p>\n
These conditions are prompting logistics providers to seek ways to\nreduce emissions from their operations without compromising the quality\nof service they provide to customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs global trade networks expand, customers increasingly expect\nlogistics providers not only to excel operationally, but also to\ndemonstrate tangible progress in reducing their environmental impact.\nThese electric vehicles help us cut emissions from delivery activities\nwhile strengthening our ability to support customers engaged in\ninternational trade,\u201d said Ahmad Mohamad, Senior Technical Advisor at\nDHL Express Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Company leaders emphasised that environmental commitment is an\nimportant part of the long-term strategy for the logistics business. The\ngreen transition is being pursued consistently across service lines.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe addition of this fleet is a concrete step towards building\nlower-emission logistics operations in Indonesia, without compromising\nthe speed, reliability and connectivity customers need,\u201d Ahmad\nadded.<\/p>\n
For international logistics companies, road transport is the key link\nbetween global networks and local customers. Electric vehicles offer an\neffective way to reduce emissions from daily activities.<\/p>\n
The innovation also extends emissions-reduction efforts to the final\nstage of the delivery process, or last-mile delivery. The company is\nseeking to make its entire operational chain more environmentally\nfriendly.<\/p>\n
Electric vehicles are being deployed not only in Jakarta but also in\nother cities within DHL Express Indonesia\u2019s operational network. The\nstrategy strengthens logistics infrastructure readiness in various\nregions.<\/p>\n
The move gives customers more service options, particularly as\ncompanies diversify their supply chains. Business growth opportunities\nare increasingly opening up beyond the main metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n
Surabaya and Semarang were selected because they are playing an\nincreasingly important role as national logistics and trade centres.\nThese areas are considered strategic for developing a green transport\necosystem.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dhl-deploys-wuling-evs-to-advance-green-logistics-1792511462", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
