FM Logistic has expressed its believe that as part of its India plans, electric three- and four-wheelers is what will make the first cut in its fleet and not electric trucks.
These vehicles will be primarily used for city deliveries and travel, where the need for high range is not a must.
On the other hand, electric vehicles will also be able to help meet the mobility needs in cities where petrol/diesel-powered CVs are being phased out.
Compared to the 3PL solutions provider, FM Logistic aims to leverage the technology to be a leader in the 4PL space.
Compared to 3PL, a 4PL manages the complete supply chain for its clients right from integrating, curating, evaluating, and managing the resources and procedures with the technologies necessary to manage the complete supply chain. This brings higher transparency and optimizes the goods movement for companies.
The French company which operates over 100 warehouses spread across 7 million square feet, working with more than 70 customers across 20 states in India sees huge potential for the country.
The company inaugurated what it claims is the cutting-edge Control Tower facility in Pune, which will further optimize supply chain operations in India.
The Control Tower is part of FM’s strategy to enhance its 4PL and LLP offering.
The event saw participation from Jean-Christophe Machet, CEO FM Logistic, Stephane Descarpentries, MD, Asia and Strategic Projects; Alexandre Amine Soufiani, MD, FM Logistic Singapore and Ajit Jangle, MD, FM Logistic India.
