In a move that would reduce its carbon emissions by 1140 metric tons annually, the Norwegian Post has ordered 29 electric trucks from Volvo.

The delivery of the trucks, which will be used for both urban and inter-city mail runs, is set to commence in 2019. The vehicles will have a range of up to 300 kilometers.

Norway’s Post director, Tom Erixon, said, “We want to be at the forefront of the move towards zero-emission logistics, and the order of these trucks is an important step in achieving our ambitions.”
