What is the current scenario of LEVS
in LMD?
The advent of e-commerce, food and grocery deliveries is leading to a
rapid increase in demand for last-mile deliveries. Approximately 30,000 Light
Commercial Vehicles are employed throughout the kingdom for last mile delivery
fulfilling more than 200 Million orders.
Most e-commerce retailers in KSA struggle with last-mile delivery as
delays, reduced success rate & difficulty cash on delivery (COD) handling.
E-com Retailers need to come up
with solutions such as B2B SAAS Platform and Digital Freight Brokers/ Load
Discovery Aggregator Platform to solve the last mile delivery problem in an
efficient way to meet the growing customer demands.
EVs are slowly gaining traction with less than 0.5% of vehicles deployed
as PHEVs in Saudi Arabia. Efforts to create a market for EVs are consistent
with the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, which aims to reduce the country’s dependence
on oil, diversify the economy, and implement a range of social reforms.
However, several gaps in the EV market such as a limited hybrid car
range, high prices, insufficient battery life and an underdeveloped charging
ecosystem are yet to be filled.
Fleet operators need to create and
manage vehicle service infrastructure and charging infrastructure on their own
due to limited availability of existing set-ups in public domain for adoption
of light electric vehicles in last mile delivery space.
Business Side Potential for LEVs in
KSA CEP Industry
Domestic express courier dominates the market and is expected to register
revenue growth at a CAGR of 4.4% and growth in shipments at a CAGR of 8.6%
during the forecasted year 2020-2030. The express companies such as UPS, DHL
and Saudi Post use four-wheelers particularly small vans, to deliver
parcels/packages in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce delivery vans usually make 45-50
deliveries in a day, with an average trip length of 100 kms in Tier 1 cities and
50 kms in Tier 2/3 cities.
Business Side Potential for LEVs in
Grocery Delivery
The industry is at nascent stage registering double digit growth rate
between 30-40% in revenue terms. Grocery companies usually partner with third
party operators to fulfil customer orders. Riyadh, Medina and Makkah are
recognized as regions with maximum demand of online grocery service where LEVs
could be initially deployed. Expanding in-house delivery fleet or partnering
with fleet management companies on contractual basis will enable the companies
to minimize the costs & gain a competitive edge in the industry.
Business Side Potential for LEVs in
FOOD DELIVERY
The industry is expected to register a revenue growth of 7.2% CAGR during
the forecaster year fulfilling over 200 million orders. The companies operate
on pay per delivery model where the freelancers owning a car or a two wheeler are
hired and paid on the basis of the number of orders delivered. Partnership with
restaurants, malls, real-estate developers and other commercial hubs should be
explored for the potential deployment of charging infrastructure for LEVs.
Expected EV Penetration in LMD
Market
Given the nature of deliveries around a designated warehouse, last-mile
deliveries make an excellent use case for electric mobility, overcoming the
range anxiety. However, LEVs do not promise a higher adoption potential in the
current scenario attributed to both a high cost disparity and a lack of
vehicle. Small format EVs may gain momentum in the near future, given their
lower fuel and maintenance costs. They are also less dependent on charging
infrastructure, since their power requirements are lower, and they are more
likely to come in models that allow battery swapping. Electric Vehicles in Food
and Grocery Delivery sectors are expected to penetrate faster due to
availability of hybrid models.
Future CATALYSTS IN KSA LEV Market
KSA could witness an LEV penetration between 5-7% by 2025. E-commerce
companies and third-party logistics players across the board will eventually
commit to including EVs in their fleet as a part of their sustainability
initiatives. KSA will eventually build a framework like UAE such as free
charging stations, discounted car registrations, toll exemptions, and other
perks to incentivize people to give up their traditional cars for EVs. The mass
production of batteries and available tax incentives will bring down the cost
of EV, thus, making it the preferred choice. However, barriers such as TCO
parity, high battery cost & infrastructure challenges such as mass
deployment of charging stations in public area may slow down the adoption rate.
