A new partnership has been announced between Allstar and DPD, giving the delivery company’s drivers access to the Allstar Chargepass solution as part of their employer’s targeting of a net zero business by 2040.
Allstar Chargepass provides a single monthly invoice for home and public charging, and access to more than 14,000 public chargers.
DPD currently has more than 3,600 EVs on its fleet, and plans for 40% of its fleet to be electric by the end of this year.
The deal builds on the existing partnership between Allstar and DPD, based on fuel cards.
Allstar Chargepass UK managing director Ashley Tate said: “As a company committed to the EV transition in fleets, we’re proud to be extending our partnership with DPD to continue simplifying the transition for drivers.
“The delivery industry is not only responsible for its own emissions, but also its partners’ net zero strategies, meaning the pressure is on to speed up efforts.
“Our partnership will make electric vehicles more accessible to drivers and serves as a significant milestone in our shared commitment to achieve net zero across fleets.”
Paul Holland, managing director of UK fleet for Allstar’s parent company Fleetcor, said: “It’s incredibly satisfying to see our relationship with DPD grow and evolve, and for Allstar to be their lead payment solution provider.
“Supporting our clients in their transition strategy is an absolute priority for Allstar, and DPD is yet another example of how we’re not only providing sustainable solutions for our partners, but also empowering drivers to make the switch.”
DPD head of sustainability Olly Craughan said: “The collaboration with Allstar provides another solution for DPD to utilise in its journey towards decarbonising its final mile delivery fleet.
“The Allstar Chargepass and Allstar Homecharge solutions encourage our drivers to make the switch to electric due to the simplicity and convenience that charging at home can bring, as well as the option to use Allstar’s roaming public charging network.”
