Reuters. The company plans to bring its Work L vans to two markets, one on each coast, starting in the spring.Following those limited deployments, StreetScooter's Work L van could see full deployment by 2022 or 2023. For DHL, this expansion is part of a broader strategy for using EVs to not only adhere to new and future emissions regulations, but also turn the electrification of transportation into a revenue driver.
For context, cities around the world — including Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo — have goals of establishing zero-emission areas by 2030. This would limit the ability of logistics companies that continue to use internal combustion engine vehicles to operate in these highly populous cities. DHL's strategy came into focus in 2014 when it acquired StreetScooter to electrify its own fleet — enabling it to cut costs and meet emissions regulations.
DHL isn't an outlier in its electric mobility efforts, as logistics giants across the globe enact their own strategies to reduce emissions and costs — we expect this trend will continue as more regulation and pressure is put on companies to reduce their carbon footprint.
