Today’s headline story: Bring Sweden’s parcel delivery volumes up by over 240% since 2019

Bring’s Swedish branch has announced that between 2019 and 2022, its parcel volumes have increased by 241%.

The company also maintains it is heavily focused on switching to fossil-free vehicles. Bring claims that since 2012, it has reduced its emissions by 51%. By 2025, it wants to deliver 100% of its parcels via fossil-free vehicles.

“Since we established our own agent network in 2020, we have seen a large increase. In recent years, we have invested heavily in more delivery points, different forms of home deliveries, and flexibility for the recipient. We have also modernized our terminals and invested in fossil-free vehicles and charging infrastructure. For us, sustainability has always been high on the agenda, and now we are starting to see that it is also something that customers set as a requirement, said Mona Zuko,” sales and marketing director in e-commerce and logistics at Bring.

Every year there are also new networks that are just entering the OOH delivery business. So we invite everyone who has not yet submitted their data to participate (for free) in our project this year.
