Posti's net-zero emissions target was approved by SBTi as the first logistics company in the world. A huge amount of work has already been done to reach this goal: Posti has, among other things, Finland's largest heavy-duty biogas fleet.
In 2022, Posti decided on a roadmap for clean transport vehicles extending to 2030. The implementation of the roadmap would mean the acquisition of thousands of new electric vehicles and will help ensure that the company can transport fossil-free by the end of the decade.
According to the plan, Posti would acquire as many as a couple of thousand light electric vehicles by 2030, i.e. in practice vans, several hundred medium-duty trucks and transport vehicles using electricity and biogas, and hundreds of heavy-duty vehicles, so-called heavy-duty vehicles, so called truck drivers which are powered by biogas, electricity and hydrogen. The final procurement volumes and the choice between different propulsion systems are affected by the development of rolling stock technology.
In May 2023, Posti introduced its first electric truck, i.e. a semi-trailer tractor. At that time, Volvo's FM 42T Electric was Posti's first electric truck and a rarity on Finnish roads. The electric truck is part of Posti's fossil-free transport fleet.
