60% of fleet to be electrified by 2030
DHL Express has purchased the first 100 units of Fiat's new E-Ducato. These large vans are 100% electric, and, with a range of more than 200 km, they are very well suited for last mile logistics.
DHL Express plans to have more than 14,000 electric vans in operation in Europe by 2030, which will substantially reduce its carbon footprint. In Europe, the provider relies on a pickup and delivery fleet that currently comprises around 500 electric vans, mainly operating in urban regions, and 14,000 non-electric vehicles.
The provider expects its European last-mile fleet to grow to 20,000 vans by 2030. In order to turn its sustainability strategy into reality, DHL Express is strongly committed to ensuring that 60% of its vehicles run on electricity by end of the current decade (approximately 14,000 vehicles). (ben)
