DHL Express is adding 25 new electric vehicles (EVs) into its fleet this year as part of its sustainable logistics journey.
The new EVs will be deployed beyond Metro Manila, reaching provincial areas like Cebu, Subic, and Clark for the first time, the international express service provider said in a statement.
This 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.
DHL Express said the expansion underlines its 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,” said Nigel Lockett, country manager of DHL Express Philippines.
Lockett said the new EVs “might come at a higher cost, but they offer a priceless environmental benefit without compromising our customer service quality and couriers’ experience.”
“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,” Lockett added.
DHL Express said integrating the EVs will significantly contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and lower operating costs. It is also in line with the DHL Group’s global target of running 60% of its pick-up and delivery services with EVs by 2030.
DHL Group has committed to invest 7 billion euros to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This includes expanding its net-zero-emission EV fleet as part of its sustainability roadmap.
