Decarbonising parcel delivery

The impact of parcel delivery

Road transport is responsible for the most GHG emissions of any sector in the UK, and global parcel delivery is expected to grow by 78%, by 2030.

The 100% electric difference

From retailer collection to customer delivery, every stage of the HIVED parcel journey is made by electric vehicles and powered by renewable energy.

Our quantified approach

Our Life Cycle Assessment shows that HIVED delivery reduces carbon emissions by up to 76%, compared to diesel delivery.

Reduce carbon emissions by up to 76%

Our Life Cycle Assessment accounts for all emissions in our network and has found that HIVED’s methods of delivery are significantly more sustainable.

Beyond electrification of delivery

HIVED is leading the way in addressing all the impacts associated with delivery and road transport, beyond electrification.

We regularly partner with businesses and organisations who are working on pioneering solutions such as tyre recycling plants and particulate matter collection devices.

The future is circular

We’re constantly looking for ways to reduce the impact of parcel delivery, and not just middle and last-mile.

With 1% of global emissions coming from cardboard delivery boxes, HIVED is a proud member of the Elemental Accelerator to work on developing circular ecommerce packaging infrastructure.

Always learning how to improve our impact

At HIVED, our impact journey is ever-improving. Right now, electric vehicles are by far the best option available for the mass market, but they’re not without environmental impact and we’re continually learning new ways to reduce the impact of parcel delivery.
