Duncan Grewcock, CEOThis is where EV Cargo—a cutting-edge transport, logistics and freight forwarding technology service provider—comes to grips with the challenging realities of efficiently managing supply chains, from the factory to the consumer.
“We are embarking on the mission of enhancing our clients’ supply chain resilience, enabling global trade with our full-scale proprietary technology-enabled warehousing and distribution management services,” says Duncan Grewcock, CEO of EV Cargo Technology.
EV Cargo makes a global difference with its technology enabled supply chain management for the world’s leading brands, with operations in over 120 countries. EV Cargo provides an end-to-end, global freight transportation solution, including source-to-destination purchase order management for air and sea shipments, and less than truckload (LTL) pallet network management services for road logistics. Through efficient consolidation and truckload utilization, EV Cargo is optimizing the size and scale of freight distribution.
EV Cargo manages the final-mile supply chain demands of customers with on-demand warehousing, one of its 4PL solutions, to enhance their inventory storage strategies in case of stock-outs. All these logistics capabilities are enriched by EV Cargo’s control tower software platform and visibility tools that provide clients with a granular level of global real-time tracking, down to product SKU-level visibility for inbound stock planning and availability.
EV Cargo offers proprietary logistics technology that enables retailers to digitally onboard new suppliers, and record and approve new product data.
“We cater to the expectations of ever more socially responsible consumers, ensuring that the product is sourced ethically and produced and shipped in a way that causes minimal impact to the environment,” states Grewcock.
EV Cargo is steering toward its vision of digitalizing the end-to-end supply chain, offering the pioneering Alliance Sense, an AI solution. The AI software builds a neural network that considers historical data and external factors such as weather and port closures, and predicts if consignments are at the risk of delivery failures. EV Cargo is expanding these AI capabilities across global supply chains by developing AI tools to suggest ideal routes to market while maintaining an optimum balance of cost, lead time, and carbon emissions.
With its successes, the experienced team at EV Cargo remains driven by the motto of ‘Delivering Better.’ EV Cargo has developed a comprehensive decarbonization roadmap to be Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutral by 2030. Supporting the goal is EV Cargo’s green logistics, an initiative taken for the dual benefit of fuel cost saving and reduction in emissions by deploying HVO sustainable diesel-powered trucks in transport services. By strategically navigating around points of supply chain disruption, EV Cargo will continue to innovate supply chain technologies to enhance supply chain resilience and sustainability.

BREA, Calif - Mullen Automotive, Inc. that Class 1 EV cargo vans have been delivered to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (“UNC Charlotte”), with vehicle order fulfillment completed by Randy Marion Automotive Group.
UNC Charlotte, North Carolina’s urban research university founded in 1946, purchased Mullen Class 1 EV cargo vans for use across its 1,000-acre campus, and more than 29,500 students. The vans will be used for a variety of university use cases, including campus delivery and facility services.
“Following our first commercial trade show, the National Truck and Equipment Work Truck Week in Indianapolis earlier this month, it is exciting to continue our momentum with the Mullen commercial lineup and celebrate our first fleet deliveries. These 100% electric vans are a fantastic use case for university campus delivery applications,” said John Schwegman, chief commercial officer of Mullen Automotive.
"UNC Charlotte is committed to helping create a more sustainable environment, including developing and implementing a comprehensive plan designed to reduce carbon emissions,” said T. J. Woods, the university's transportation, warehouse and logistics manager.
“UNC Charlotte represents the first of many customers that have expressed interest in Mullen’s commercial product lineup. The lower total cost of ownership and reduced emissions of Mullen EVs will make switching to electric an easy purchase decision for many customers,” said Brad Sigmon, manager of commercial sales at Randy Marion Automotive.
“We are proud to announce delivery of Class 1 EV cargo vans to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and look forward to the continued adoption of EVs in place of standard ICE vehicles,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive.
