SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Beyond reducing its carbon footprint, introducing electric vehicles to its existing delivery fleet has paid off for logistics company DHL Express Singapore.

“One of the couriers came up to me to say, ‘Boss, you really saved me – the electric vans are quiet, they’re cool and I can have conversations with customers without any stress’,” said Christopher Ong, managing director of the courier division of logistics giant DHL in Singapore, on Thursday.
