TVS Motor Company has signed an MoU with Indian Oil Corporation Limited to introduce sustainable cargo vehicles into the energy company's commercial supply chain. The long-term corporate partnership focuses on modernizing last-mile retail delivery logistics by integrating localized cargo transport across domestic energy distributor setups.
Under the terms of the agreement, the two- and three-wheeler manufacturer will open up vehicle acquisition pathways for Indian Oil’s domestic network, which currently comprises over 13,000 LPG distributors nationwide. The initialization phase of the fleet program involves the deployment of the TVS King Kargo HD platform.
The fleet integration program targets an optimization of the total cost of ownership for franchise operations while seeking to reduce carbon emissions. Indian Oil plans to utilize the three-wheelers to lower operation costs and boost productivity across its distribution points.
Rajat Gupta, Business Head of Commercial Mobility at TVS Motor Company, stated that the partnership intends to provide reliable commercial platforms that assist regional fuel networks in managing overhead costs and stabilizing daily supply chain operations.
