Online e-commerce major Amazon India has entered into a strategic partnership with TVS Motor Company to strengthen electric mobility, electric infrastructure and connected services.
As part of this collaboration, a fleet of electric two- and three-wheelers from TVS Motor will be deployed for Amazon’s last-mile deliveries.

In 2020, Amazon India announced that it will include 10,000 EVs in its delivery fleet by 2025. It is part of his overall progress towards the Climate Pledge – a commitment to achieve net-zero carbon by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. The inclusion of these EVs is in addition to Amazon’s global commitment of 1,00,000 EVs by 2030.
TVS Motor Company said the partnership is in line with its aim of electric vehicles in segments like delivery, commuter and premium. TVS Motor Company will launch a complete portfolio of electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers in the domestic and international markets within eight quarters.
