EV aggregator LetsTransport raises $25 million from Bertelsmann, others

Commercial electric vehicle aggregator LetsTransport announced on Friday it has secured $25 million in a funding round. The proceeds from the fresh round will be utilised to expand the company’s market presence and reach profitability, it said.

The latest round was led by the existing long-term investment partner, Bertelsmann India Investments (BII), which pumped in $20 million, LetsTransport said.

Prior to this, the platform had raised cumulatively $30 million, it said.

The aggregator said its plug-and-play platform allows it to offer clients multiple assets across use cases in last-mile, mid-mile, and EV space.

“This latest funding round not only fuels our growth, but also reaffirms our shared vision of transforming the logistics industry. Globally, through its division Arvato, Bertelsmann is a major player in the supply chain industry, making them ideal long-term partners for us,” said Pushkar Singh, cofounder and CEO, LetsTransport.

“Bertelsmann, which partnered with the aggregator in 2019, has doubled down on its commitment to support its portfolio, with an investment of $20 million from the new fund,” the startup said.
