Renault is to supply DHL France with a fleet of electric vehicles by 2015, of which orders for 50 vehicles comprising Kangoo Z.E. vans and Zoe cars have already been confirmed. The first four, which are Kangoo Z.E.s, will be delivered by the end of 2012. Further orders will depend on DHL’s “different potential needs”.
In 2011 Renault chose DHL to manage the logistics of battery shipments to all its Z.E. centres and expert sites in its dealer network across France. DHL chose Renault to help it develop the deployment of EVs as part of its ‘GoGreen Program’, which aims to cut DHL’s emissions by 30% by 2020.
