Royal Mail is adding 2,100 electric Peugeot vans to its fleet.
The vans, which are going into service from this week, include 1,100 E-Partners, and 1,000 E-Experts.
They are the latest vehicles to be supplied under Peugeot’s long-term partnership with Royal Mail, which has seen it supplying vans since 2009, and electric vans since 2014.
The new vans, part of Royal Mail’s plan to achieve Net Zero by 2040, will be charged on-site at Royal Mail’s delivery offices via the company’s 100% renewable electricity supply.
More than half of the new vans are set to be deployed in time for the Christmas rush.
Stellantis UK group managing director and Peugeot UK managing director Eurig Druce said: “Peugeot is proud to continue supplying electric vans to Royal Mail, a partnership that has been ongoing since 2009, which is testament to the quality and reliability of our vehicles.”
Royal Mail deputy director for corporate affairs and ESG Greg Sage said: “We’re proud that our latest tranche of electric vehicles has been produced at Peugeot’s Ellesmere Port plant.
“This is an important part of our work to expand the UK’s largest electric delivery fleet and to remain the UK’s greenest delivery company.”
