In our fast-paced world, e-commerce has redefined the landscape of last-mile deliveries. As online shopping becomes the default, more third-party logistics (3PL) businesses experience the challenge of ensuring a swift courier delivery whilst keeping operating costs low. To streamline operations and maximise investments, e-vans have emerged as a game-changer for last-mile delivery companies.
The ability to save over $60,000 in operating costs AND upgrade your fleet capabilities might seem too good to be true, but electric vans have made it a reality. Read on to find out how!
An Electric Option with No Compromise
For many parcel delivery companies, it is the norm for fleets to travel around Singapore all day. Throw in the need for large load spaces and sturdy builds to ensure driver safety, few options in the eLCV market can keep up. However, Opel’s e-vans ease those worries effortlessly. With a reliable German build, spacious load capacity and a range of 330km on a single charge, Opel e-vans have become a popular choice for businesses going green.
What’s more, their fast charge capabilities allow a 0% to 80% charge in just 45 minutes–making charging during lunch a viable option.
Who says you need to make compromises when going electric anymore?
Affordable and Reliable
With the driving that last-mile delivery demands, fuel costs quickly compound to become a significant portion of your operating costs. For a 150km trip, Diesel vans will cost you an estimated $31.63. With electric vans, that plummets down to just $15.03. In fact, over a period of 8 years, going electric can save up to $50,000 on running costs alone!
But there is more to electric vans than just cost savings. Large fluctuations in fuel prices, seen during the COVID period, also further drive instability of operational costs. By transiting away from diesel, electric vans can decrease costs and mitigate the risk of future cost fluctuations. How’s that for killing 2 birds with 1 stone?
Maximum Subsidies
For many parcel delivery and 3PL companies, larger fleet sizes are necessary to keep up with intensive operational requirements. However, Singapore’s steep cost of vehicle ownership can make growing such a fleet difficult. As such, every bit of subsidy helps to reduce this vital component of business expenses. This is much more so when the available subsidies cover 25% of your vehicle’s price!
Thanks to the Singapore Government’s latest push towards electric vehicles, you will receive a limited-time subsidy of $15,000 when opting for Opel e-vans. Multiplying this subsidy by the number of vehicles in your fleet, quickly adds up to a significant chunk of savings!
