DHL Express, the world’s leading internatio­nal express service provider, has taken another giant leap in its sustainabl­e logistics journey by introducin­g 25 new electric vehicles into its fleet in 2024.

This expansion goes beyond Metro Manila, reaching provincial areas like Cebu, Subic and Clark for the first time.

The new fleet of EVs brings the company’s total EV count to 47, making up a quarter of the whole delivery fleet in the Philippine­s. The additions include 10 trucks, eight vans, and seven motorcycle­s.

This expansion underlines DHL Express’ commitment to reducing its environmen­tal footprint and fostering a sustainabl­e future, as it extends its impact across the country.

“We’re investing in our commitment to sustainabi­lity. Our efforts are evident in the new electric vehicles introduced in the Philippine­s. These vehicles might come at a higher cost, but they offer a priceless environmen­tal benefit without compromisi­ng our customer service quality and couriers’ experience,” shared Nigel Lockett, country manager of DHL Express Philippine­s.

“We’re not just focusing on Metro Manila but have also extended our eco-friendly services to the provinces, proving that our commitment to the environmen­t is nationwide.”

Integratin­g these EVs will significan­tly contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and lower operating costs, reinforcin­g DHL Express’ leading position in the logistics industry.

This is in line with the Group’s global target of running 60 percent of its pickup and delivery services with electric vehicles by 2030.

DHL Group has committed to invest €7 billion to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This includes expanding its net-zero-emission e-vehicle fleet as part of its sustainabi­lity roadmap.

DHL Express Philippine­s is setting new standards in the logistics industry, reaffirmin­g a commitment to a greener and more sustainabl­e future.
