Delivery firm DPD is soon to begin trialling the Volta Zero electric truck within London\u2019s Ultra Low Emission Zone in Q1-2021, supporting its micro-depot strategy in Westminster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Confirming the partnership, Olly Craughan, CSR General Manager of DPD Group UK Ltd, said: \u201cDPD Group UK Ltd are happy to announce a trial of the Volta Zero 16 tonne purpose built fully electric vehicle planned for 2021.The vehicle is an ideal fit for our Urban Logistics strategy; and the fact that it will be the most sustainable commercial vehicle is a fantastic achievement too, and mirrors our own strategy to be the UK\u2019s leader in sustainable delivery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rob Fowler, Chief Executive Officer of Volta Trucks, added; \u201cAs the world\u2019s first purpose-built full-electric large commercial vehicle, the Volta Zero was specifically designed to deliver parcels and freight in inner city locations where today\u2019s air quality and noise pollution challenges are at their worst. The Volta Zero\u2019s full-electric, zero-emission operation is perfectly suited to DPD\u2019s distribution requirements within London\u2019s strict Ultra Low Emission Zone, delivering parcels to Central London\u2019s customers in a clean and efficient way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Volta Zero is also much safer for the city\u2019s pedestrians and other road users than other large goods vehicles, thanks to the unique design of the cab that offers the driver significantly enhanced visibility. Its full-electric drivetrain also offers near-silent operation, meaning DPD will be able to utilise the Volta Zero in the centre of London in an efficient 24-hour operation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
