Bentley has said that it is going to invest about Rs 25,125 crore in ‘the next 10 years’ on sustainability. Adrian Hallmark, Bentley’s Chief Executive and Chairman, said: “This is an ambitious and credible roadmap for the carbon neutrality of our entire business.
Bentley’s parent group Volkswagen, which has 12 brands including Audi, Porsche and Skoda, is pumping 35 billion euros (about Rs 2,92,400 crore) into electric vehicles. The company aims to become the world’s largest electric car maker by 2025.
The craze and demand for Electric Vehicles (EV) is increasing all over the world. In India too, due to the rising prices of petrol and diesel, people are turning to electric vehicles. One report suggested that first-time electric vehicle buyers were reluctant to switch to gasoline-powered cars. This has come to the fore in the report of JD Power.
The craze of electric vehicles among people can be gauged from the fact that EV sales in the US reached a record high with 4 lakh 34 thousand 879 new units earlier this month.
Recently, FedEx Express has announced plans to use electric vehicles for parcel delivery. The company has announced to start the trial of Electric Vehicle (EV) in India. It aims to achieve carbon neutral operations by 2040. The trial of the electric vehicle is expected to be completed in the next one month in Bangalore. Mohammad Sayegh, Vice President, India Operations, FedEx Express said that FedEx’s mission is to connect the world. With the growth of e-commerce in India, we are exploring ways that minimize the impact on the environment.
