DX launches electric vehicles for London parcel deliveries

18 October 2022/Categories: Freight Forwarding, Logistics & Supply Chain, Operations Management, Net-Zero


DX announced that its DX Express division has launched a strategic initiative with Silva Brothers Limited that will initiate the use of electric vehicles for its London parcel deliveries.

The first phase has launched with an initial 20 electric vehicles, liveried with DX branding, for use in Central London. The electric vehicles will provide support for the DX Express growing Parcels operation, which provides secure, next-day deliveries supported by localised customer service. The initial electric fleet is anticipated to deliver approximately 750,000 parcels in its first full year of operation.

Martin Illidge, Managing Director, DX Express, said:

 “We are delighted to have launched our first electric vans for our Parcels operation business with Silva Brothers Limited, one of our key final-mile partners in London. The growth of the Parcels service is a major focus for the DX Express division, and we are now pleased to offer our customers a more environmentally-friendly approach to our highly secure, next-day delivery service.”

Jodelle Silva, CEO, Silva Brothers Limited, said:

 “This fleet electrification programme is a sign of our growing partnership with DX Express in London. We are very pleased to be playing our part in reducing carbon emissions in the capital while continuing to provide a compelling service proposition.”
