This is a custom-made mail van manufactured by Grumman Corporation, whose US 1.1 billion contract with the USPS was for 99,150 vehicles in 1986. “As our fantastic posties make most deliveries on foot, this already means we have the lowest reported CO2e per parcel of major UK delivery companies. The problem with William is that he lacks real credibility on race, racism and race relations because he did not tackle the racism under his own roof, in his own family, she explained while noting that the royal family and colonialism have a dark history together. “We’re committed to keep on reducing our environmental impact and we intend to leave no stone unturned in trialling new technologies and new ways of delivering to help us do that. Simon Thompson, chief executive officer at Royal Mail, said: “It’s really exciting to see these micro electric vehicles making their way into our daily deliveries. Step one of Royal Mail’s Steps to Zero strategy is emission-free deliveries, which Royal Mail plans to achieve by electrifying its fleet and optimising its on-foot deliveries. Over six months the EV vans will be tested in Edinburgh, Crewe, Liverpool, Swindon and London. Royal Mail is expected to expand its electric van fleet to 5,500 vehicles by spring 2023, as part of its goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2040. Thanks to their size they will help tackle congestion as well as pollutions with their zero tailpipe emissions. The Royal Mail has recently issued a new set of ‘Royal Mail Heritage: Transport’ stamps, which feature the iconic Mini Van, manufactured between the years of 19.

We have trialled electric trucks before but not of this type of innovative design and look forward to see what additional benefits they can bring to our existing fleet of around 49,000 vehicles.”Īrrival, formerly known as Charge Auto, built the trucks at their new 110,000 sqft factory in Banbury. We will be putting them through their paces over the next several months to see how they cope with the mail collection demands from our larger sites. ![]() ![]() “Royal Mail is delighted to be collaborating with Arrival and pioneering the adoption of large electric commercial vehicles. Paul Gatti, Royal Mail Fleet’s Managing Director, said that a successful trial could lead to a broader adoption of the technology in the company’s fleet of almost 50,000 vehicles: The company is starting a trial today with 3 versions of the vehicle to transport packages between its mail and distribution centres around London. ![]() Royal Mail, an important postal service and courier company in the UK, unveiled a new electric truck made by Arrival. ![]()
