- DHL Express Philippines continues to expand its electric vehicle fleet as part of its annual fleet electrification program
- Electric vehicles now represent 41 percent of the companyโs total delivery fleet in the Philippines
Manila, Philippines, 16 February 2026: DHL Express Philippines, the worldโs leading international express service provider, continues to strengthen its sustainability efforts with the deployment of eight (8) additional electric vehicles, with two (2) more units scheduled for rollout in the first quarter of the year. This latest expansion forms part of the companyโs annual fleet electrification program, supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from lastโmile delivery operations while maintaining reliable and efficient service.
As delivery demand continues to grow across major urban centers, the logistics industry faces increasing responsibility to manage emissions while ensuring speed and reliability. DHL Express Philippines is addressing this challenge by steadily transitioning its fleet to electric mobility, prioritizing routes and service areas where electric vehicles can be effectively integrated into daily operations. The newly deployed electric vehicles will operate across Pasig (DXO), Makati, Bonifacio Global City and Muntinlupa (DXM), Manila (DML), Pasay and Paraรฑaque (DXS), and Cebu, supporting highโdensity delivery routes in key commercial and residential hubs.
With this latest rollout, electric vehicles now account for 41% of DHL Express Philippinesโ total delivery fleet, marking a key milestone in the companyโs longโterm electrification roadmap. This progress reflects DHLโs measured and dataโdriven approach to fleet decarbonization and aligns with DHL Groupโs ambition to achieve netโzero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
โLogistics that works for people and the planet is the standard we hold ourselves to,โ said Nigel Lockett, Managing Director of DHL Express Philippines. โBy expanding our electric vehicle fleet in the countryโs most active delivery zones, we are supporting the reduction of emissions from lastโmile operations in areas where our couriers, customers, and communities interact every day.โ
The new electric delivery vehicles are purposeโbuilt for urban lastโmile operations. Each unit offers a cargo capacity of 5.1 cubic meters and is powered by a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery rated at 307.2 volts, supporting consistent daily operations across city routes. The vehicles can be fully charged in approximately five hours using a DC fast charger, allowing for efficient turnaround times within DHLโs delivery network. Designed for frequent stops and predictable route patterns, the vehicles are well suited to the operational demands of express logistics in dense metropolitan environments.
In addition to reducing tailpipe emissions on routes where they are deployed, the electric vehicles provide operational benefits, including lower fuel consumption and reduced maintenance requirements compared to conventional vehicles. Their quieter operation also contributes to improved working conditions for couriers and helps reduce noise levels in busy urban areas.
The latest batch of electric vehicles is equipped with telematics integration, enabling DHL Express Philippines to monitor vehicle location, battery performance, energy consumption, driving behavior, and route efficiency in real time. These insights support optimized route planning, proactive maintenance, and more efficient vehicle utilization, helping ensure consistent service performance while maximizing the effective use of electric mobility.
The deployment reinforces DHL Express Philippinesโ view that sustainability is a continuous, longโterm effort rather than a oneโtime initiative. Through its annual evaluation of fleet performance, infrastructure readiness, and delivery requirements, the company continues to identify opportunities to further expand the use of electric vehicles across its network.
By steadily increasing the share of electric vehicles in its delivery operations, DHL Express Philippines continues to support the decarbonization of lastโmile logistics while delivering reliable express services to customers across the country.
