IKEA Deploys First Heavy-Duty Electric Truck In India

- April 08, 2025

IKEA Supply, part of Inter IKEA Group, has deployed the first electric heavy-duty truck to run on the public road network in India in collaboration with its carrier BLR Logistiks, as well as other partners.
The truck just finished its 100th trip carrying IKEA goods between the port of Mumbai, the distribution centre (DC) in Pune and the IKEA store in Mumbai. The deployment phase began in October 2024. In addition to lowering transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, it has produced notable efficiency improvements, such as a turnaround time reduction of two to one day, an annual cost reduction of 16 percent, a yearly reduction of 30 percent in greenhouse gas emissions for the particular route, and an annual reduction in empty runs of about 160,000 kilometres.
In order to expedite container processing and establish new agreements between the land carrier running the route and the ocean service provider delivering the containers to the port, IKEA has shortened procedures with Indian customs. In order to facilitate the rollout, the land carrier has made investments in the necessary charging infrastructure. Transportation-related CO2 emissions account for around five percent of the IKEA value chain's overall carbon footprint. By 2030, IKEA wants to cut the carbon footprint of all its transportation by an average of 70 percent. This accomplishment is also a crucial step toward the goal of using exclusively zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles by 2040.
Claes Lindgren, Acting Category Transport Manager, IKEA Supply Chain Operations, said, "Although the purchase price of electric vehicles is higher than diesel trucks, we have achieved higher efficiency and cost reductions in the long term. This is an important step for IKEA and a strong signal to the transport sector in India. Through a joint effort with our partner, we have optimised the route, ensuring the truck is used more on the road and less during idling in loading and unloading processes.”
Abhishek Goyal, Director at BLR Logistiks, said, “We are happy with what we have achieved for this specific route and look forward to applying this way of working in the future. This deployment in India represents an example of how we create efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

Numeros Motors, a new-age original equipment manufacturer specialising in indigenous electric vehicles (EVs), has launched an NFT-backed loyalty programme in collaboration with Polygon. This first of its-kind initiative in the EV industry, integrating blockchain technology into customer engagement, will reward the first 1,000 buyers of Diplos with a unique digital collectible.
The NFT series ‘The Journey’ consists of 10 original artworks, each with 100 copies, that depict Diplos conquering the essence of India's many landscapes and the spirit of adventure that characterises the brand's motto, ‘Gets It Done’. Customers that own one join a limited group that prioritises performance, resiliency and progressive mobility. These NFTs, which are protected on Polygon's blockchain, provide exclusivity, authenticity and a more in-depth interaction with the brand.
This programme adds value to the Diplos experience by providing holders with access to premium products, invites to special events and priority customer service in addition to the NFT. These NFTs serve as a permanent remembrance of their role in Numeros Motors' history since they are soul-bound, meaning they are always connected to their original owners. In April of this year, Numeros Motors will also open its first store in Bangalore that is owned and run by the firm.
Shreyas Shibulal, Founder and CEO, Numeros Motors, said, "Diplos was built for those who move forward, challenge limits and embrace new possibilities. This NFT initiative is our way of recognising and celebrating our customers who believe in our vision. By integrating blockchain technology into customer engagement, we are creating an ownership experience that extends beyond the ride itself."
