DHL Express 是的国际快递运输服务提供商，它继续进行投资以实现其减排和气候保护的宏伟目标。继去年年底在美国使用 9 辆 Lightning Electric 福特 Transit 350HD 电动货车成功进行初步试点计划之后，该公司计划今年在纽约和加利福尼亚部署剩余的 89 辆电动汽车。
由 生产 闪电电动车是零排放中重型汽车的设计者和制造商，新型电动汽车非常耐用，能够达到 61 MPGe，而类似的汽油动力货车为 13 MPG。它们还包括专有的远程信息处理和分析软件，这将有助于路线优化、驾驶员培训和车辆效率。
DHL Express 美国执行官 Greg Hewitt 表示：“我们的目标是改善人们生活和工作场所的生活，在我们的英里和一英里服务中使用清洁的取件和交付解决方案——例如电动汽车和货运周期。” . “随着首批 9 辆试点车辆的成功部署，我们很高兴能够扩大我们的电动送货车的足迹，并继续推动我们的企业脱碳路线图。”
新货车增强了美国 DHL Express 已经强大的替代燃料车辆 (AFV) 车队，其中包括全电动、混合动力和清洁柴油车型 - 除了低功率电动辅助 e-Cargo Cycles。DHL 还开始在洛杉矶市场试用四辆电动牵引拖车，将货物运送到 DHL LAX Gateway 和当地服务中心。
“这些新型电动货车旨在更好地为 DHL 客户提供服务，并帮助快递员更高效地递送包裹，”Lightning eMotors 执行官 Tim Reeser 说。“与此同时，他们正在帮助 DHL 履行其减少温室气体排放、改善城市空气质量以及减少街道噪音的承诺。”
3 月 22 日，德国邮政敦豪集团宣布加速脱碳路线图，其中包括在未来十年内投资总计 70 亿欧元（运营支出和资本支出）以采取措施减少二氧化碳排放。
DHL Express, the world’s leading provider of international express shipping services, continues making investments to meet its ambitious goals for emissions reduction and climate protection. Following a successful initial pilot program using nine Lightning Electric Ford Transit 350HD electric vans in the U.S. late last year, the company plans to deploy the remaining 89 electric vehicles this year in New York and California.
Produced by Lightning eMotors, a designer and manufacturer of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, the new electric vehicles are highly durable and capable of achieving 61 MPGe, compared to 13 MPG for similar gas-powered vans. They also include proprietary telematics and analytics software, which will aid with route optimization, driver training and vehicle efficiencies.
“We’re aiming to improve the lives of people where they live and work, using clean pickup and delivery solutions – such as electric vehicles and cargo cycles – for our first- and last-mile services,” said DHL Express U.S. CEO Greg Hewitt. “With the successful deployment of the first nine pilot vehicles, we are excited to expand our electric delivery van footprint and continue to drive forward our corporate roadmap to decarbonization.”
The new vans enhance an already robust alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) fleet for DHL Express in the U.S which includes fully electric, hybrid-electric and clean diesel varieties – in addition to low-power electric-assist e-Cargo Cycles. DHL also began piloting four electric tractor-trailer vehicles in the Los Angeles market, to haul goods to and from the DHL LAX Gateway and local service centers.
