KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 (Bernama) -- Nippon Express Logistics (Thailand) Co Ltd (NX Logistics Thailand), has introduced its first all-electric truck that emits no carbon dioxide (CO2) or pollutants while on the road as part of its efforts to address climate change.
While electric vehicles are being increasingly adopted in countries worldwide to reduce CO2 emissions, there have not yet been many examples of electric trucks being used as commercial vehicles in Thailand’s logistics industry.
In this context, NX Logistics Thailand introduced its first electric truck with maximum payload capacity of 8,800 kilogrammes and a cruising range of 200 kilometres on Jan 19, according to a statement.
This electric truck, assigned to the Bangkok Logistics Center near Suvarnabhumi Airport, will be used for air cargo delivery and other operations.
A group company of Nippon Express Holdings Inc, the company will continue to consider actively introducing trailer heads and other types of electric trucks in future.
The Nippon Express Group has positioned addressing climate change as a material issue for realising its long-term vision of becoming a logistics company with a strong presence in the global market.
It has declared its support for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and is pursuing measures based on the TCFD’s recommendations.
To date, the group has introduced more than 12,000 hybrid vehicles, electric trucks, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) powered by hydrogen and other environmentally friendly vehicles in Japan in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions in its own operations.
