Austrian Post: Emission-Free Through Innsbruck
The Austrian Post already has over 3,000 e-vehicles in operation and aims to deliver completely CO2-free nationwide by 2030, according to the KEP service provider. The Post is now making a significant first step by fully converting its delivery fleet to e-mobility in the Tyrolean capital, Innsbruck, this year.
"In Innsbruck, we are laying an important foundation for CO2-free delivery in Tyrol with the conversion to e-mobility. We are not only acquiring 70 additional e-vehicles but also expanding the charging infrastructure and photovoltaic systems at our logistics locations. Overall, the Post is investing around 3.3 million euros to ensure that all deliveries – letters, advertising mail, packages – in Innsbruck are emissions-free this year," says Peter Umundum, Board Director for Parcel & Logistics, Austrian Post AG.
"I am very pleased that Innsbruck is one of the first cities in Austria where the Post will deliver emissions-free. The climate catastrophe, which hits cities in the Alps particularly hard, demands action from us now – the Post is taking the lead here by setting a good example," says Uschi Schwarzl, Innsbruck City Councillor for Environment, Energy, and Mobility.
60 charging stations - 70 new e-vehicles
The Post has now begun the conversion work: In a total of four delivery bases – three in Innsbruck and one in Vomp – more than 60 charging stations for the e-fleet will be installed in the coming months. 70 new e-vehicles will be acquired this year solely for delivery in Innsbruck, bringing the total to nearly 100 e-vehicles in use by the end of the year.
The delivery of letters, advertising mail, and print media will take place from three delivery bases in Innsbruck itself, with package delivery from the Tyrol logistics center in Vomp. Once fully operational, around 130 couriers will make CO2-free deliveries daily, either on foot, with e-bikes, e-mopeds, or e-vans.
Electricity from Photovoltaics
With over 3,000 electric vehicles, including approximately 1,200 e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, e-mopeds, and e-trikes, as well as almost 1,900 electric transporters, Austrian Post claims to already operate the largest e-fleet in the country. By 2030, it aims to deliver all packages, letters, print media, and advertising mail nationwide in Austria without emissions. Since February 2022, only electric vehicles have been purchased for delivery, and around 1,000 additional electric vehicles are expected to follow annually.
Austrian Post already generates some of the required electricity itself: 13 photovoltaic systems with a capacity of approximately 4.3 megawatts peak (MWp) have been installed across Austria. Another 4.5 MWp are in the implementation phase, and the expansion of an additional 9 MWp is already planned. This includes the photovoltaic system at the Tyrol logistics center, which is currently being expanded from the existing 500 kilowatts peak (kWp) to almost 2.3 MWp. Only green electricity from Austria is purchased.
New Life for Old Batteries
Austrian Post's electric vehicles have proven themselves not only in daily use since 2011 but are also ideal for start-stop operation. The lifecycle of an electric vehicle is already more cost-effective for Austrian Post than using an equivalent internal combustion engine vehicle, with significantly lower wear and lower energy costs. Austrian Post considers the entire lifecycle of the electric vehicles and their batteries, utilizing software-supported battery monitoring including wear prognosis. Focusing on second-life use of used vehicle batteries after upgrade, repair, or recycling, these can also be used as stationary energy storage units.
