Logistics company Rhenus Group has added EV trucks to augment local distribution support and extend its existing logistics services for Brenntag. 

Discussions are also on the future partnership plans to include Air and Ocean freight, enhancing local distribution movements and other value-add services. 

This step complements the  warehousing and domestic distribution network across India. These warehousing solutions are state-of-the-art, equipped with the latest technology and adhering to international standards of safety and efficiency. 

The introduction of EV trucks is the latest sustainable logistics initiative from Rhenus India. 

Its new warehouses are equipped with sky lighting to enhance the use of natural light and reduce electricity usage. 

In 2023, Rhenus India installed 350 kilovolt (kv) solar panels at their multi-user facility in Bhiwandi, Mumbai. For 2024, it aims to implement up to three solar projects in a phased manner at the new upcoming facility in Bhiwandi, specifically for non-chemical clients and multi-user facilities at Gurgaon. 

Separately, Rhenus confirmed the appointment of Bhaswar Arya as the joint managing director for India. Prior to this, Bhaswar was a strategic assistant to the chairman of Rhenus Group in Germany.
