Bengaluru initiates gets solar-powered electric art installations in order to grasp the idea of sustainable last-mile mobility for deliveries, at the Church Street Metro Exit in the city. The city is more indulged in upcycled materials and interactive elements. The practice is enfolded under the envelope of the term Bengaluru Moving, meant to encourage citizens to think about the journey of their delivery packages.
The initiative has been launched by Purpose Climate Lab to promote and enable the city’s transition towards sustainable modes of transportation. India’s last-mile emissions per delivery are about 285 gCO2counted as per the words of the Stand. earth research group. Which is way above the global weighted average of 204 gCO2. The cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Chennai emit more CO2 from last-mile deliveries than the last-mile emissions of the entire country, the study also found the fact.
Through this art installation and other initiatives, Bengaluru Moving aims to motivate brands and companies to convert their delivery fleets to net-zero carbon emission and sustainability intentions into real action, said Navdha Malhotra, Campaigner with Bengaluru Moving.
The Commissioner of Directorate of Urban Land Transport of Government of Karnataka, Smt. V Manjula said in the contrast.
“This interactive installation is raising awareness about last mile emissions resulting from the e-commerce deliveries and the transition to electric 2 and 3-wheel fleets to eliminate the release of tailpipe emission.”
The Directorate of Urban Land Transport and Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation also indulge in the installation of electric vehicles. Church Street became a favorite place for walkers and cyclists due to Solar-powered electric vehicle art installation. It proved accessible to all age groups as many younger citizens, and disadvantaged people visited Church Street during the project.
Concluding…
