BLive partners with CBPL to help last-mile delivery companies

India's fastest-growing multi-brand electric vehicle platform has teamed up with Chartered Bike Pvt Ltd (CBPL) – India’s leading provider of electric mobility solutions, specializing in public bike sharing, in-campus mobility, e-commerce delivery, and last-mile delivery services.

As per the MoU signed between BLive and CBPL, the collaboration will target the nationwide deployment of 10,000 2-wheeler EVs and 1000 3-wheeler EVs over the next 3 years. The total MoU is worth approximately Rs 120 Cr with estimated deployment in three phases including Rs 30 Cr in the first year, Rs 40 Cr in the second, and Rs 50 Cr in the third year.

The partnership between BLive and CBPL is aimed at helping last-mile delivery companies, such as Zomato, Swiggy, Amazon, Flipkart, Delhivery, Porter, and many more, resolve the supply gap of electric vehicles in the market. The MoU between BLive and CBPL will resolve this issue by helping these organizations deploy vehicles nationwide, with a focus on Tier II cities.
