The Austrian Post is further expanding its e-mobility. It now operates 5,000 electric vehicles. This means that every second delivery vehicle is now powered by electricity from renewable energy sources.
The latest addition is a Mercedes eSprinter. "In order to achieve the goal of nationwide CO2-free delivery on the last mile by 2030, the Post is acquiring more than 1,000 additional electric vehicles each year," says Peter Umundum, Board Member for Logistics.
Since the spring of 2022, only electric vehicles have been purchased for delivery, with around 1,000 new cars and small trucks being added each year. The Post relies on various brands, currently including new purchases from Mercedes-Benz, Fiat and the Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturer Maxus. The partially state-owned listed company operates photovoltaic systems with a capacity of more than 18 megawatts peak (MWp) at 32 locations throughout Austria.
