Swiss Post has embarked on an ambitious journey to fully electrify its delivery fleet by 2030, encompassing 4,500 vans and 6,000 three-wheelers.

Activities

Currently, Swiss Post operates 7,250 electric vehicles – the biggest electric delivery fleet in Switzerland – includ-ing 1,250 delivery vans and 6,000 threewheelers.
All of them are powered entirely by renewable electricity from Swiss ecological sources. Key challenges include developing charging infrastructure, managing higher costs of electric vehicles, and providing charging solutions for employees who take vehicles home. Swiss Post has in-stalled 1,500 charging points and plans to increase this number. The creation of a dedicated business unit for electrification has been crucial for managing these challenges and overseeing the electrification of buses, lor-ries, and private vehicles. Swiss Post collaborates with universities, innovative companies and grid operators, participating in pilot projects and sharing expertise. By 2030, Swiss Post aims to deliver all letters and parcels with electric vehicles, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable transport.

Result & Impact

In 2024, Swiss Post was able to cover 41% of all delivery kilometres with electric vehicles. Furthermore, this tran-sition reduces noise, benefitting urban residents and due to the visibility of Swiss Post’s electric fleet electric mobility gets promoted among the Swiss public.
