Post-Change in Deliveries in Vienna Until the End of the Year

In the future, postal deliveries in Vienna will be carried out exclusively on foot, by bicycle, or with an electric vehicle. Currently, 700 of the 1,100 postal vehicles in the capital are already electric. With the complete switch to electromobility, Vienna will become the first major European city where the last mile of delivery will be completely CO2-neutral, the postal service explained.

Postal Deliveries in Vienna: 1,500 Employees CO2-Free by the End of the Year

The postal service in Vienna has 17 delivery bases for letters, brochures, newspapers, and magazines. In addition, there are 3 parcel delivery bases within Vienna and one location in Hagenbrunn. Once fully developed, over 1,500 employees will be traveling CO2-free daily, either on foot, with e-bikes, e-mopeds, or e-transporters. The postal service is investing around 32 million euros in charging infrastructure and electric vehicles for this purpose.

Entire Postal Delivery Fleet in Austria to be Electric by 2030

Since 2022, the postal service has relied solely on electric vehicles for deliveries, acquiring around 1,000 vehicles each year. Across Austria, the postal service already has more than 5,000 electric vehicles. The goal is to convert the entire delivery fleet of 10,000 vehicles to electric by 2030. Additionally, the postal service operates photovoltaic systems at 34 locations with a total capacity of 18 MWp. This could theoretically already power 3,000 electric vehicles with solar energy.
