Zero-emission deliveries
Our ‘feet on the street’ delivery model significantly contributes towards lowering our delivery emissions, but we want to go further by transitioning our delivery fleet to zero-emission vehicles. We have continued to invest in deploying electric vans and the charging infrastructure to support them. As a result:
- We operate the UK’s largest electric van delivery fleet, with almost 9,000 electric vans.
- Just over half of our delivery routes continue to be wholly or partially on foot, meaning that 31% of our delivery routes are now zero-emission.
