Austrian post has trialled new technologies for potential future use cases of electric trucks.

ACTIONS

As part of its partnership with the CNL (Council for Sustainable Logistics), Austrian Post used an electric truck on a Vienna delivery route that its drivers cover several times a day over the course of a month. The data gathered during this test will provide valuable insights into potential future use cases for electric trucks. Furthermore, as part of a national funding project, two BEVs (battery electric vehicles) were tested on a route in April 2023 and submitted. Their own fast charging station was also built at the site. With these two trucks, the company could save around 111 tons of CO2 per year.

RESULTS AND IMPACT

Research of future use cases for electric trucks are part of the main goal: 100% electric vehicles for the last mile of delivery in Austria by 2030.
