DHL 2-Mann-Handling GmbH (DHL Germany) is expanding its electric fleet in March for low-emission delivery of last-mile logistic purposes.
A total of 21 new electric vans will be deployed in Lower Saxony, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Berlin, Bavaria, and Baden-Württemberg.
Each electric vehicle is reported to save about 20.4 tons of CO2e emissions and 6,400 litres of diesel per year compared to a combustion engine in the same category.
DHL Germany report that it has 32,400 electric vehicles for mail and parcel delivery currently in service throughout Germany.
Additionally, more than 50% of delivery routes in the Post & Parcel Germany division have already been converted to electric drive.
Managing director of DHL 2-Mann-Handling GmbH Beate Seeher said: “We focus on sustainability not just in our buildings and operational processes.
“The deployment of electric vehicles for last mile delivery is an important step forward.
“We can now increasingly deliver large and bulky goods, such as furniture, washing machines, or TVs, to end customers with reduced emissions. This is in line with consumer expectations.”
