bpost will soon add the 3,000th electric delivery van to its fleet.
In fact, the company is ordering 500 additional e-vans, which will bring it to the milestone this autumn.
As a result of ongoing sustainability initiatives, the firm now delivers more than one in four parcels without emissions nationwide.
The proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) in bpost’s fleet keeps increasing at an impressive pace.
By June 2024, the number of EVs for postal workers had already doubled from 1,000 to more than 2,000.
Following the latest order of 500 new electric vans, the fleet will grow to 3,146 units by this autumn.
This makes bpost’s fleet not only the largest operational fleet in Belgium, but also the greenest.
The company is considering more than just delivery vehicles for postal workers.
bpost added a second electric truck earlier this year for transporting parcels between its sorting centres.
With this strategy, the firm intends to achieve emission-free transport not only for the final kilometres but also during the sorting stages.
The new e-truck operates alternately between the sorting centres at Antwerp, Liège, and Charleroi.
An extra green peak for the end of the year
The delivery of 500 new electric vans is scheduled for this autumn, ensuring they are commissioned just before bpost’s year-end peak.
In November and December, parcel volumes surge dramatically, with the company delivering up to 800,000 parcels each day.
Of all those parcels, the company already delivers 26% emission-free to their destination, which is more than one in four.
bpost’s long-term goal is to ensure all parcels in Belgium reach their destinations without emissions by 2030.
