We’re electric

Today 28 percent of our total vehicle fleet is electrified – mainly e-bikes and light vehicles. Focus now is reaching the interim target: that PostNord’s entire fleet of vehicles in last mile is emission-free by 2027.

The journey to a fossil-free future

Currently almost 40 percent of PostNord’s own vehicle fleet is fossil-free. Combined with electrification, biofuels form part of the solution to achieving completely fossil-free transport.

Change through cooperation

A fossil-free PostNord requires fossil-free transport providers. This can be achieved through procurement, knowledge sharing and working together.
