CP AXTRA Public Company Limited, an operator of Asia's leading wholesaler and retailer "Makro - Lotus's", is accelerating its transition to clean transportation through a partnership with Rever Commercial Vehicles Co., Ltd., the sole distributor and after-sales service provider of BYD electric vehicles in Thailand. Under this collaboration, CP AXTRA plans to roll out up to 300 electric vans by 2025 to support its Last Mile Delivery services from Makro and Lotus's to consumer nationwide. This move makes CP AXTRA the first wholesale and retail operator in Thailand to adopt an EV fleet of this scale for logistics operations. The EV fleet offers several standout features: zero emissions, quiet operation, higher cargo capacity, and stable temperature control to help preserve product freshness during delivery. This transition is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 300 tons annually, reinforcing CP AXTRA's commitment to service excellence and its sustainability goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Mr. Tanit Chearavanont, Chief Executive Officer of Makro Thailand and Group Chief Commercial Officer, CP AXTRA Public Company Limited, stated, "As online shopping continues to grow rapidly, fast and eco-friendly delivery is becoming a vital success factor in Thailand's wholesale and retail sectors. CP AXTRA plans to roll out over 300 electric vehicles by 2025, a move expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 300 tons annually, equivalent to planting approximately 1.9 million trees. This partnership reaffirms our commitment to sustainable business practices and our journey toward achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050."
Mr. Pratarnwong Phornprapha, Chief Executive Officer of the R?VER Group, stated, "Rever is proud to contribute to cleaner air for all by helping reduce PM 2.5 and the carbon footprint, while also supporting CP AXTRA's success through the delivery of over 300 T3 commercial electric vehicles for last mile deliveries. This further highlights the reliability and versatility of electric vehicles, proving their strong suitability for diverse applications, including commercial and business sectors."
Miss Pratarnporn Phornprapha, Vice Chief Executive Officer of the Rever Group, added, "We are grateful for CP AXTRA for placing their trust in Rever and choosing T3 for business use. This not only enables entrepreneurs to lower fuel and maintenance costs but also contributes meaningfully to pollution reduction."
This partnership aligns with the shared commitment of both organizations to sustainable business practices rooted in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles as they collaborate to protect the environment and promote long-term sustainable development.
