DHL is not only going to be fast, but clean, with the order of 44 electric trucks from Volvo.
“We are committed to meet growing customer demand for green and sustainable solutions and achieve our long-term goal of net zero emissions by 2050. As a logistics service provider, the conversion of our vehicle fleet is an important lever to help us avoid CO2 emissions on the road as well. Several of our divisions will thus benefit from this agreement with Volvo Trucks,” explains Pablo Ciano, Executive Vice President for Corporate Development at Deutsche Post DHL Group.
The 44 trucks will go all over Europe, with 40 of them doing much the same as the truck in London. By making final deliveries with Volvo FE and Volvo FL trucks, emissions will be removed from neighborhoods and business districts. This is expected to save 600 tons of CO2 and 225,000 liters of diesel fuel.
Volvo and DHL didn’t stop at just arranging a truck sale, though. Volvo is going to give DHL vital information and work with it to maximize the good it gets out of the trucks. They’re also going to get valuable quantitative and experiential data from the operation of the trucks, and use that to help future customers looking to deploy Volvo electric vehicles in the field.
