CEVA Logistics announced during the 2023 Transport Logistic show in Munich that the company plans to grow its fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) to 1,450 by the end of 2025 as the next step in its commitment to reaching net zero by 2050.
The major sustainability commitment includes 1,000 delivery vans, 300 straight trucks and 150 tractor units deployed across CEVA’s dedicated fleet operations, LTL and last mile pick and delivery operations – as well as for special projects like the recently launched European Clean Transport Network. The expanded EV fleet would reduce the company’s CO2 emissions by an estimated 67,000 tons per year – the equivalent of 30,000 round trips by a truck between Paris and Munich.
Along with the vehicles of its own employee-driven operating model, CEVA will also enable the transitions to EVs for some of its dedicated subcontractors. In the company’s shared user networks – where trucks are not dedicated to a specific customer – CEVA will sell the certified CO2 savings to customers to further support its EV fleet investment.
CEVA identified electric battery trucks as the most promising technology to replace fossil fuels and initiated its transition to electric vehicles several years ago. This decision permitted the company to build up its experience operating more than 200 EV vans through its Colis Privé subsidiary and more than 20 EV trucks across all continents.
