Austrian Post has put its 3,000th electric vehicle into operation. The latest addition to the yellow-green e-fleet is stationed in Vienna and simultaneously marks the starting point for the implementation of "Green Vienna". By 2025, Austrian Post aims to achieve completely CO2-free delivery in the capital city.
"With our 3,000th electric vehicle, we are embarking on an ambitious project: CO2-free delivery in Vienna by 2025. With the initial 40 e-transporters, we are now starting the green parcel delivery in Vienna. By autumn, we already plan to completely switch the Donaustadt district to CO2-free delivery," explains Peter Umundum, Board Member for Parcel & Logistics, Austrian Post AG.
With the rollout of additional electric vehicles, Austrian Post will start delivering all letters, advertising mail, print media, and small parcels (direct delivery to residential mailbox facilities) emission-free in Vienna as early as spring. To achieve this, 1,200 deliverers will be on duty daily, either on foot, with e-bikes, e-mopeds, or e-transporters for the residents of Vienna. Concurrently, Austrian Post is beginning to expand the charging stations at its logistics locations in Vienna, aiming to successively convert all 23 districts to e-mobility by 2025. For this purpose, Austrian Post will replace around 350 conventional vehicles with combustion engines with new electric vehicles. The investment volume amounts to approximately 20 million euros.
Electricity from Photovoltaics
With 3,000 electric vehicles, including approximately 1,200 e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, e-mopeds, and e-trikes, as well as over 1,800 e-transporters, the Austrian Post already operates the largest e-fleet in the country. By 2030, it will deliver all packages, letters, print media, and advertising mail across Austria emission-free. Since February 2022, only electric vehicles have been purchased for delivery, with around 1,000 additional electric vehicles expected to follow annually. The Post already generates part of the required electricity itself: 13 photovoltaic systems with a capacity of approximately 4.3 megawatts peak (MWp) have been installed nationwide. Another 4.5 MWp are in the implementation phase, and the expansion of another 9 MWp is already planned. Only green electricity from Austria is purchased.
Second-Life: Batteries as Buffer Storage
The Post's electric vehicles have proven their worth in daily use since 2011, are ideal for stop-and-go operations, and are very popular with delivery staff. The lifecycle of an electric vehicle is already more cost-effective for the Post than using an equivalent combustion engine vehicle, and they also exhibit significantly less wear and lower energy costs. The Post considers the entire lifecycle of electric vehicles and their batteries, utilizing software-supported battery monitoring including wear predictions. Focusing on the second-life use of used vehicle batteries after upgrades, repairs, or recycling, these can also be used as stationary energy storage.
