Domino’s Pizza is trialling a fully electric Renault Master E-Tech delivery van, to replace a diesel vehicle delivering to stores in urban areas.
If the pilot is a success, Domino’s plans to invest in further new EVs for its supply chain centre (SCC) fleet over the next 24 months.
The fully electric Renault van is zero emission at the tailpipe and emits up to 70% less CO2e in comparison to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles.
This is estimated to save 14,844kg CO2e emissions each year, based on mileage of 40,000 miles per annum.
The eLCV marks another step towards the group’s ambition to reduce emissions across the business and run a significantly greener supply chain centre fleet by 2031.
This year has already seen Domino’s introduce 58 new distribution trucks with electric refrigeration units from DawsonGroup, further helping improve and optimise the energy efficiency of the group’s existing SCC transport.
In addition, Domino’s is committed to having electric refrigeration units on all its distribution vehicles by 2028, supporting the reduction of its CO2 emissions.
Pete Trundley, supply chain director at Domino’s Pizza Group, said, “This electric vehicle trial marks an important milestone in our ambition to create a greener and more sustainable business.
“We’re also delighted by the arrival of our 58 new trucks with electric refrigeration units. EVs are a key part of our glidepath to achieving net zero by 2050.
“We’re excited to explore the potential of getting more of these vehicles on the road delivering for Domino’s, as we aim to slice our emissions.”
