Ford and DHL agree electric van deal
Date: Tuesday, December 6, 2022 | Author: Sean Keywood
Ford and Deutsche Post DHL Group have signed a memorandum of understanding on a deal which will involve the supply of more than 2,000 electric vans worldwide by the end of 2023.
The agreement includes access to Ford Pro connected E-Telematics software and charging solutions.
The first E-Transit vans supplied through the agreement are already in operation for last-mile deliveries in several countries, including the UK.
The agreement will potentially allow both companies to explore the co-development of future products as well as new digital and charging solutions.
In addition to providing early access to innovations, Ford will also deliver access to test vehicles and monitoring services.
Ford Pro Europe general manager Hans Schep said: “Ford Pro and Deutsche Post DHL Group share the vision of greater sustainability and a commitment to electrified solutions, and this agreement is a major step towards millions of deliveries being completed by electrified vehicles around the world.”
Deutsche Post DHL Group chief procurement officer and head of mobility Anna Spinelli said: “Electrification of last mile logistics is a major pillar to decarbonize our operations. Adding the new Ford E-Transit to our global fleet of around 27,000 electric vans further strengthens our capability of providing green delivery services worldwide. Joining forces to address our logistics specific requirements will drive operational and service efficiency further.”
