Prasad Sreeram, founder & CEO, COGOS, said, “With the growing demand for last-mile services in India, we believe electric vehicles provide an ideal long-term solution for the emerging imperatives around sustainability and cost-effectiveness. We will continue to transform city logistics with our tech platform which has improved the service levels and efficacy of Enterprises and Transporters. Now with EV, we are bringing in world-class renewable technologies to the city logistics play to further our mission to make Atmanirbhar Bharat.”, he further added.

In Phase 1, COGOS is focused on deploying a fleet of 1,000 vehicles.
