Swiss Post and Austrian Post committed to electrify their delivery fleets by 2030 as they joined the global electric vehicles campaign “EV100” which aims to make electric transport ‘the new normal’ by 2030.

The initiative is led by The Climate Group, the international non-profit organisation focused on accelerating climate action.

Austrian Post, which operates the largest electric vehicle fleet in the country, will switch more than 9,000 vehicles to electric models as part of EV100 over the next decade.

Georg Pölzl, Austrian Post CEO, said: “Austrian Post has been relying on the deployment of electric vehicles within the context of its CO2 NEUTRAL DELIVERY initiative since 2011, making it a trailblazer in green logistics. About 1,600 electric-powered bikes, mopeds, quads and cars are already in use in Austrian Post’s daily business.”
