The new EVs will be leased from Singapore-based ComfortDelGro Corp. and replace internal combustion engine vans, DHL said. The company plans to add 25 more EVs over the next 12 months and install 105 charging points across its service centres. The vans will have a range of 339 kilometers (210 miles) and a payload of 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds).
“By transitioning to electric vehicles, DHL Express Singapore is set to eliminate a total of 323 tons of CO2 emissions yearly,” said Ong.
