ACTIONS
Austrian Post is focused on using new technologies and running pilot projects related to electric vehicles. Austrian Post’s delivery fleet in Graz has been fully electric since October 2021, with more than 200 electric vehicles on the road every day. As part of a pilot project with Mercedes-Benz and filtration experts MANN+HUMMEL, Austrian Post fitted two Mercedes eSprinter vans with sensors and specialised filters in August 2022 to remove particulate matter from the air.
Since then, these vehicles have served as mobile air quality measuring stations. The filtration technology has the potential to improve the sustainability of the logistics sector to a whole new level.
RESULTS AND IMPACT
Austrian Post partnered with Mercedes Benz to fit two electric delivery vehicles with fine dust filters in 2022. In addition to being emission-free, these vehicles also remove particles from the air. The main goal is 100% electric vehicles for the last mile of delivery in Austria by 2030.
