JAKARTA - Alva electric motorcycle manufacturer together with Kalista collaborated with Dash Electric in building an electric vehicle-based logistics infrastructure through the utilization of 500 units of Alva N3 electric motorcycles.

This collaboration is one of the real large-scale implementations of two-wheeled electric vehicles in the logistics sector, as well as marking a concrete step towards a greener and more sustainable operational model.

In building an EV-native logistic infrastructure, Dash Electric requires an approach that does not merely replace fossil-fuel vehicles with electric vehicles, but also integrates the electric vehicle fleet, drivers, and technology into a comprehensive and end-to-end logistics operating system, to create more efficient, scalable, and sustainable operations.

To realize this model, in this collaboration, Kalista provides a fleet-as-a-service scheme through operating lease financing for the Alva N3 electric motorcycle fleet operated by Dash Electric. This model provides flexibility for Dash Electric to expand the fleet without initial investment and without bearing the risk of asset depreciation, so that it focuses on developing an electric-based logistics service network.

On the industrial side, this approach opens up new references for other logistics companies to adopt electric vehicles faster, both in the two-wheel and four-wheel segments and others.

CEO & Co-Founder of Dash Electric Dash Electric, Aditya Brahmana, stated that the use of 500 units of Alva N3 allows the company to expand the use of electric vehicle fleets to various use cases, not limited to last-mile delivery, but also same-day logistics, dedicated fleets for brands and retailers, to collection services.

"We want to encourage the acceleration of Indonesia's logistics sector transition to a more efficient and sustainable operational model, proving that EV-based logistics can be run commercially and scalably," he said, in an official statement received, Wednesday, January 28.

Later, Alva N3 motorcycles will be used to support the operations of a number of Dash partners, including Happy Fresh, Allo Fresh, Sayurbox, Chagee, and DHL, as part of their daily logistics fleet. All of these portfolios utilize Alva electric motorcycles to support the achievement of Net Zero Emission, while also providing more optimal operational cost efficiency compared to conventional vehicles.

On the same occasion, Alva's Chief Marketing Officer, Putu Swaditya Yudha, said that fleet reliability is a crucial factor in logistics operations.

"Therefore, through this collaboration, Alva not only plays a role as an electric motorcycle manufacturer, but also presents a transparent, real-time, and integrated fleet management solution. This approach is part of Alva's strategy in building a sustainable electric mobility ecosystem, especially to support the needs of the B2B segment," said Putu.
