FedEx adds e-NV200 electric vans to its Belgium fleet

Marking the first use of all-electric vehicles in Belgium, FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., has announced the introduction of new zero-emission all-electric Nissan e-NV200 vehicles for pickups and deliveries in the areas of Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp.

For FedEx, reducing the environmental impact of daily carbon dioxide emissions from delivery vehicles is central to the company’s commitment to connecting the world in more responsible and resourceful ways.

Five years ahead of target, FedEx met its goal of increasing FedEx Express vehicle fuel efficiency by 30 percent from a 2005 baseline by 2020.  The company believes it can achieve significant further savings and is currently working on a new vehicle sustainability goal.

To reach it, FedEx follows these “3R” measures:

– REDUCE: Optimize routing and driving habits to reduce mileage and fuel consumption;
– REPLACE: Upgrade/replace vehicles to more efficient ones wherever possible;
– REVOLUTIONIZE: Identify and invest in future technologies such as alternative fuel, hybrid-electric and electronic vehicles.

The introduction of all-electric vehicles is one measure in the FedEx long-term approach to environmental issues.  As of 2015, FedEx has 447 hybrid vehicles; 1,176 electric vehicles and 55 hydrogen-fueled vehicles globally.

In Belgium, FedEx currently has a total of 150 vehicles and as of this month, five zero-emission all-electric Nissan e-NV200 vans.

On top of the environmentally-friendly solution, these Nissan e-NV200 vans offer a new driving experience for the Belgian FedEx couriers.

“The Nissan e-NV200 vans not only help reduce CO2 emissions, they are also quieter, which is generally a big issue in urban areas,” said Patrick Roedolf, senior manager, Operations, Clearance & Brokerage Benelux, FedEx Express.
