South African Retailer Woolworths’ New Fleet Of 41 Electric Delivery Vehicles Now On The Road
Last year we announced our commitment to electric delivery vehicles, and we are delighted to now have nearly half our fleet powered by the sun. The new electric vehicles have been introduced on selected routes in Cape Town and Gauteng with further rollouts and extensions into KwaZulu Natal planned to follow as soon as possible. We have bold sustainability goals and ambitions, which include the goal to have ZERO net carbon emissions by 2040, so this investment is a big step towards these goals.
