A local logistics company is piloting its first electric vehicle fleets to help address clean transportation in Nairobi. The firm has partnered with electric vehicle provider ARC Ride to deploy 3-wheeler (3W) electric vehicles, also known as E3’s, for the last-mile delivery solution, and reduce carbon footprint. Sendy will seek to acquire more by the end of this year – coming at a time when urban populations are pushing the growth of the delivery ecosystem and grappling with high air pollution. ''Three-wheeler electric vehicles are suitable for all kinds of business needs that require last-mile deliveries. They are becoming important in the final mile segment and will help us reduce delivery costs for our customers in a clean ecosystem,'' Nyaga said.
