Radisson Hotels in Sri Lanka accelerates sustainability with Evolution Auto’s EVs
Daily FT: Evolution Auto, Sri Lanka’s largest electric vehicle portfolio provider, has successfully deployed a purpose-built electric vehicle (EV) fleet for Radisson Hotels Sri Lanka, marking a significant step forward in integrating sustainable mobility into large-scale hospitality operations.
This collaboration strengthens Radisson’s commitment to embedding sustainability into its daily operations, not as a symbolic endeavor but as a functional and value-driven business strategy, while positioning Evolution Auto as a trusted partner in enabling commercial EV adoption at scale.
The deployed fleet consists of King Long electric vans, made for higher-capacity transportation and logistical needs and KYC electric vans, designed for efficient urban hotel operations. These vehicles are currently actively integrated into a number of operational roles, including property-level mobility, staff transportation and internal logistics, supporting operations across key Radisson properties in Sri Lanka, including Colombo, Galle and Kandy, with seamless movement between locations where required.
By aligning vehicle capabilities with specific operational requirements, Evolution Auto delivered a solution that improves productivity, dependability and service delivery in a hospitality environment, ensuring efficient connectivity and operational coordination across multiple hotel locations.
Evolution Auto Head of Sales Commercial Vehicles Divan Wijerathne stated, “By deploying both KYC and King Long electric vans across key operational functions such as logistics, staff transport and internal mobility, we have enabled a transition that strengthens both efficiency and service reliability.”
OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s overall commitment to expand sustainable energy as well as the need to address increasing fuel prices have increased the demand for EVs in the country. With this increase, there has been an increase in the need to introduce infrastructure as well as supplementary infrastructure facilities required to meet the increasing use of EVs in the country. This increase has opened many business/investment opportunities as well. Given the ongoing economic activities in the country and the overall expansion, business/investment opportunities presented as a result have presented many lucrative ventures for foreign businesses/investors on the lookout for such in the region, especially in Sri Lanka. Foreign businesses/investors could also look at expanding operations in Sri Lanka through partnerships or joint ventures with local businesses already engaged in the sustainable energy solutions sector.
