Rolling out an electric delivery fleet in Glasgow

TESCO’S DOT COM EV VAN CHARGING

Tesco ambition to fully electrify its delivery fleet by 2028.

Tesco has made the move to an all-electric home delivery fleet in Glasgow as part of its goal to achieve net zero by 2035. Tesco converted its entire fleet to electric delivery vans in their first 2 stores located in Glasgow, making it the first city in Scotland to do so.

By 2028, 100% of all Tesco’s 5,500 home delivery vans across the UK will be fully electric.

RLB UK was able to quickly integrate into their positions and mobilise the supply chain to finish the first two sites on a tight timeline prior to COP26 in Glasgow.

This first phase of the scheme is expected to save around 1,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.

Tesco will have installed 2,400 charging points across 600 stores, including 72 in Scotland, by the end of 2022.
