DHL is turning to Ford for help to electrify 60 percent of its delivery fleet by the end of the decade. On Monday, the automaker’s Pro division announced it would supply the logistics company with 2,000by the end of 2023. The order is part of a €7 billion investment DHL has set aside through the end of the decade to build a zero-emissions fleet.
While 2,000 vehicles is a drop in the ocean for a company like DHL , the door is open for Ford to provide DHL with more E-Transit vans. The memorandum of understanding the two signed will see Ford grant DHL access to test vehicles. They also plan to work together on new products and charging solutions. Ford isn’t the only company providing electric vans to some of the biggest parcel delivery firms on the planet.
Amazon uses the shit out of them, DHL will probably do the same. Tesla ought to come out with line of vans.
I hope they’re not delivering the vans themselves or they’ll never get them
