SINGAPORE

Cycle & Carriage (C&C) Singapore and Grocery Logistics of Singapore (GLS), the logistics arm of FairPrice Group, have announced a collaboration to use Electric Commercial Vehicles as mobility solutions in logistics and delivery.

Cycle & Carriage Singapore will be supplying ten Citroën ë-Dispatch units, which will form the first pilot fleet of electric vans to be used by GLS. Each of the Citroën ë-Dispatch units will have an electric range of 339 kilometres on a single charge, and only require 48 minutes to charge from 0 to 80 per cent.

In addition to the fleet of Citroën ë-Dispatch units, Cycle & Carriage Singapore will be supplying their charging stations to GLS which will be on the road by the end of November 2022.

“GLS continues to do our part for the environment and our latest initiative to augment our fleet with electric vehicles is part of our overall holistic effort to promote a circular and low-carbon economy,” Ms Zeng Qiao Jia, Chief Supply Chain Officer of FairPrice Group Supply Chain shares, adding “Beyond the environmental gains of reducing our carbon footprint, we are eager also to reap greater cost savings from the total cost of ownership of running an electrified fleet, where resources may be redeployed to further advance our supply chain capabilities. We urge our industry peers to join us on this whole-of-nation sustainability effort and to leave behind a greener world for our children.”

“It’s great to see key industry players making the shift to electric vehicles as we work towards a cleaner, more sustainable environment. We look forward to assisting GLS to help ease their adoption of electric vehicles,” shares Ms Dawn Pan, Director of Multi-Franchise Operations at Cycle & Carriage Singapore.

In addition to this partnership, Cycle & Carriage Singapore has pledged to continue to work towards making the Singapore Green Plan 2030 a reality by pursuing opportunities to provide sustainable solutions to local businesses.
