Ford Pro and Deutsche Post DHL Group recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate the deployment of electrified vans used for logistics operations worldwide. In doing so, both companies outline their commitment to provide sustainable/green services.
Underscoring the planned collaboration, Ford Pro will equip Deutsche Post DHL Group with more than 2,000 electric delivery vans worldwide by the end of 2023 to enhance its leading position in using electric vans for last mile delivery worldwide. The inked agreement covers a full suite of solutions to operate the electric fleet including access to Ford Pro’s connected E-Telematics software and charging solutions in order to reduce costs and optimise efficiency as a part of the two organisations’ common zero emission goals.
Ford is targeting zero emissions for all vehicle sales and carbon neutrality across its European footprint of facilities, logistics and suppliers by 2035, and carbon neutrality globally no later than 2050.
Deutsche Post DHL Group, the world’s leading logistics company, is committed to strengthen clean operations for climate protection and will invest EUR 7 billion in the current decade on its path to net-zero emissions logistics. Deutsche Post DHL Group is targeting a share of 60% e-vehicles used for carbon neutral pick-up and delivery by 2030, now also powered by Ford Pro’s line-up of electrified vehicles including the all-new E-Transit.1
“Ford Pro and Deutsche Post DHL Group share the vision of greater sustainability and a commitment to electrified solutions, and this agreement is a major step towards millions of deliveries being completed by electrified vehicles around the world. E-Transit is the top-selling commercial EV in North America and since June is also the best-seller in its segment in Europe, meaning the all-electric 2-tonne van is already making big strides to support this ambition,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe.
福特Pro和德国邮政DHL集团*近签署了一份谅解备忘录，以加快全球物流运营中使用的电动货车的部署。在此过程中，两家公司概述了他们提供可持续/绿色服务的承诺。
为了强调计划中的合作，Ford Pro将在2023年底之前为全球邮政DHL集团配备2，000多辆电动送货车，以加强其在全球使用电动货车进行*后一英里送货方面的领先地位。签署的协议涵盖了运营电动车队的全套解决方案，包括访问福特Pro的互联电子远程信息处理软件和充电解决方案，以降低成本并优化效率，这是两个组织共同零排放目标的一部分。
福特的目标是到2035年实现所有汽车销售的零排放，并在其欧洲的设施、物流和供应商中实现碳中和，并在2050年之前在全球范围内实现碳中和。
****的物流公司德国邮政DHL集团致力于加强气候保护的清洁运营，并将在本十年投资70亿欧元，以实现净零排放物流。德国邮政DHL集团的目标是到2030年将60%的电动汽车用于碳中和取货和交付，现在也由福特Pro的电动汽车系列提供动力，包括全新的E-Transit。1
“福特Pro和德国邮政DHL集团有着共同的愿景，即提高可持续性和对电气化解决方案的承诺，该协议是朝着全球电动汽车完成数百万次交付迈出的重要一步。E-Transit是北美*畅销的商用电动汽车，自6月以来也是欧洲同类产品中*畅销的产品，这意味着全电动2吨货车已经在支持这一雄心壮志方面取得了长足的进步，“福特Pro总经理Hans Schep说。
*后一英里物流的电气化是我们运营脱碳的主要支柱。将新的福特E-Transit添加到我们全球约27，000辆电动货车的车队中，进一步加强了我们在全球范围内提供绿色交付服务的能力。联手解决我们的物流特定要求将进一步提高运营和服务效率，“德国邮政DHL集团首席采购官兼移动主管Anna Spinelli说。
根据该协议，福特Pro已经移交了其首批E-Transits，加入了德国邮政DHL集团在全球多个国家用于*后一英里交付的电力车队.2订单量集中在E-Transit面板货车上，该货车专为处理美洲和欧洲的快递货物而设计。这些车辆在一年中*繁忙的时候加入德国邮政DHL集团车队，从而在旺季为客户提供更可持续的交付。此外，还完成了福特Pro特种车辆的采购，并在德国进行了定制包装盒，用于市中心分销。
由福特和德国邮政DHL集团签署的谅解备忘录将有可能使两家公司探索共同开发未来的产品以及新的数字和充电解决方案。除了提供早期获得创新理念的机会外，福特Pro还将为德国邮政DHL集团提供测试车辆和监控服务，因为两家公司正在探索将合作扩展到全球越来越多的市场。
