The State government has a big focus towards last-mile delivery/logistics/commute space, and EV (electric vehicle) adoption, Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan, who also holds the Electronics, IT and Biotechnology portfolio, said on Tuesday. He was speaking as a panellist by participating virtually on ‘Governing goods on the move’ organised by the World Economic Forum as part of the ‘Global Technology Governance Summit 2021’. The shift to electric mobility, for instance, has become necessary now more than ever owing to the fast depletion of fossil fuels, increase in energy costs, the impact of transportation on the environment, and digital intervention. Industry, governments, and early adopters have succeeded in demonstrating that electric vehicles could deliver the practicality, sustainability, safety, and affordability characteristics expected from them, he explained. Dr. Narayan said, “Mobile internet, automation, the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, advanced genomics, renewable energy are some areas of innovation and technology that need to be adopted to bring about changes in ways of traditional systems of functioning.”
