IMPORTANCE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN LOGISTICS OPERATIONS

Abstract

Due to the significant amount of carbon emissions from vehicles that depend on fossil fuels, environmental concerns have increased as global logistical operations have grown, especially in the transportation industry. The potential of electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce emissions and advance sustainability in logistics is explored in this article. A literature review process is applied, using information from industry reports and scholarly publications. According to the research, EVs have a number of benefits, such as cheaper operating expenses, smaller carbon footprints, and increased efficiency. However, barriers to wider use include expensive initial expenses, inadequate infrastructure for charging, limited driving range, and poor performance in different weather situations. Government incentives, improvements in battery technology, and wider charging networks are suggested as solutions to these problems. In order to ensure an easy transition to sustainable logistics, the report highlights the significance of strategic investments and governmental initiatives. Future studies should examine practical uses and evaluate the long-term consequences of EV integration in logistics.
