Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 DHL Express Indonesia is strengthening its\nnational logistics network by operating 58 environmentally friendly\nelectric vehicles to support trade connectivity, delivery efficiency and\nreductions in operational emissions across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Ahmad Mohamad, Senior Technical Advisor at DHL Express Indonesia,\nsaid the growth of global trade had led customers to expect logistics\nservices that were both operationally excellent and genuinely committed\nto environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe electric vehicles help us reduce emissions from delivery\nactivities while strengthening our ability to support customers involved\nin international trade,\u201d Ahmad said in a statement in Jakarta on\nThursday.<\/p>\n
Before its latest fleet expansion, DHL Express Indonesia operated 28\nelectric vehicles. It has since added 30 Wuling Mitra EV Blind Van Long\nRange vehicles, bringing its total electric fleet to 58.<\/p>\n
Of the newly added vehicles, 20 have been deployed in Jakarta, eight\nin Surabaya, and one each in Bandung and Semarang, bolstering\nlower-emission delivery operations.<\/p>\n
The move comes as international trade ties deepen and businesses pay\ngreater attention to reducing the environmental impact of their\nactivities and supply-chain management.<\/p>\n
According to the DHL Global Connectedness Report 2026, Indonesia has\nstrong trade links with major economies around the world, particularly\nChina, Singapore and the United States, which continue to drive\nlogistics activity.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the DHL Globalization Tracker shows that intra-Asian trade\nis continuing to grow, creating greater opportunities for Indonesian\ncompanies to expand their access to regional and global markets.<\/p>\n
Against this backdrop, more Indonesian companies are allocating\ndedicated budgets to environmental programmes as part of strategies to\nimprove competitiveness, investment and long-term business\nresilience.<\/p>\n
This is prompting logistics companies to seek solutions that can\nreduce operational emissions without compromising the speed, reliability\nor quality of service required by customers across business sectors.<\/p>\n
For DHL Express, ground transport is the main link between its global\nlogistics network and local customers, making electric vehicles\nimportant in reducing emissions through the final stage of delivery.<\/p>\n
Deploying electric vehicles outside Jakarta also gives customers a\nwider range of services as new logistics hubs develop, including in\nSurabaya and Semarang, which are playing an increasingly important role\nin national trade.<\/p>\n
DHL Express Indonesia now operates 58 electric vehicles out of a\ntotal operational fleet of 261, reflecting the growing use of electric\ncommercial vehicles in the country\u2019s logistics sector.<\/p>\n
Globally, DHL Group operates more than 1,400 electric vehicles in\nAsia-Pacific. It aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with more\nthan 66 per cent of its fleet to be electric and sustainable aviation\nfuel to account for more than 30 per cent by 2030.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Wuling Motors Vice President Arif Pramadana thanked DHL\nExpress for its confidence in the company, demonstrated by the use of\nthe Mitra EV in its operational fleet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one example of collaboration between the two companies to\nprovide mobility solutions that can support business operational needs,\u201d\nArif said.<\/p>\n
He said he hoped the partnership would benefit DHL Express\u2019s\noperations and create wider opportunities to support the development of\nIndonesia\u2019s electric-vehicle ecosystem.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dhl-express-strengthens-logistics-network-with-environmentally-friendly-vehicles-1792709436", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
