Today’s headline story: bpost says over 40% of its branded vehicles are now eco-friendly
As it aims to meet its goal of cutting carbon emissions to 55% below 2019 levels by 2030, bpost has said that 40% of its own-branded vehicles are now “eco-friendly”. The company adds that its ultimate goal is to be able to offer zero-emission last-mile deliveries in Belgium.
The company stresses that last year alone, it procured 46 new LPG trucks, over 500 new electric vans and 275 new e-trailers for use with electric bikes.
When it comes to 2023, bpost states it is expecting delivery of 400 electric vans in Q1, while an order has already been made for 300 electric vans. A further 950 will be ordered in early 2023 as well, along with an electric truck before the end of the year. It doesn’t end there either, as bpost also aims to order a number of double deck trailers equipped with solar panels.
In addition, bpost states it is ramping up out-of-home delivery, offering as many as 2,800 pick up points – a figure the company wants to grow to 4,000 by 2030.
