#YellowGreen – e-mobility, not emissions
We’re acting now for tomorrow
Since the end of August, we’ve been delivering all letters and parcels in the canton of Basel-Stadt and in Basel city with Swiss Post’s own electric vehicles. Basel is the fourth city to have deliveries purely with electric vehicles, following Zurich, Bern and Geneva. And by 2030, we will gradually implement delivery of all letters and parcels by electric vehicles throughout Switzerland. We have the largest fleet of electric vehicles in Switzerland to achieve this. In the meantime, we are using around 6,000 three-wheel scooters and over 1,000 electric delivery vans for deliveries.
With targeted measures and new technologies, we are reducing our CO2 emissions in order to be carbon neutral in our own operations by 2030.
The following information is up to date as at August 2024

How we’re switching to e-mobility
Switzerland-wide by the end of 2030
CO<sub>2</sub>-free delivery by Swiss Post: IKEA case study
- With over 7,000 electric vehicles, we operate the largest electric fleet in Switzerland. It currently comprises around 5,950 electric three-wheel delivery vehicles, over 1,000 electric four-wheel delivery vehicles and around 600 other electric vehicles. By 2030, all 10,500 delivery vehicles will be switched to alternative drive systems.
- This enables us to deliver around 55.4 million parcels and 1.5 billion letters with no CO2 emissions every year. In Bern, Zurich and Geneva alone, our e-vehicles serve almost 1.5 million households.
- By the end of 2025, we will also deliver all letters and parcels using Swiss Post’s own electric vehicles in Basel, Biel/Bienne, Köniz, Lucerne, Lugano, Uster and Winterthur. By the end of 2030, we will deliver throughout Switzerland using electric vehicles.
- From 2030, 20 percent of the kilometres travelled by Swiss Post’s own vehicles and 5 percent of those travelled by transport partners will be powered by alternative drive systems.
