Sustainable logistics
We’re taking responsibility

Anchor Navigation

People, companies and the environment are close to our heart – including in our core market of logistics. We take responsibility and focus on sustainability wherever we can. To protect the climate, we conserve resources and reduce CO2 emissions from vehicles, products, services and processes. Our sustainable logistics has a positive impact on our environmental footprint – and also on that of our customers.

Our goals

  • We will gradually convert to delivery by electric vehicles by 2030
  • We will be completely carbon neutral in our operations from 2030.

#YellowGreen – e-mobility, not emissions
We’re acting now for tomorrow

Since March, we have been delivering all letters and parcels in the city of Lucerne with Swiss Post’s own electric vehicles. Along with Zurich, Bern, Geneva, Basel, Winterthur, Thun and Uster, there are now eight Swiss cities with a delivery-only service using electric vehicles. And by 2030, we will gradually implement delivery of all letters and parcels by electric vehicles throughout Switzerland. We have the largest fleet of electric vehicles in Switzerland to achieve this. In the meantime, we are using around 6,000 three-wheel scooters and over 1,300 electric delivery vans for deliveries.

With targeted measures and new technologies, we are reducing our CO2 emissions in order to be carbon neutral in our own operations by 2030.

The following information is up to date as at March 2025

How we’re switching to e-mobility
Switzerland-wide by the end of 2030

CO<sub>2</sub>-free delivery by Swiss Post: IKEA case study

  • With over 8,000 electric vehicles, we operate the largest electric fleet in Switzerland. It currently comprises around 6,000 electric three-wheel delivery vehicles, over 1,300 electric four-wheel delivery vehicles and around 700 other electric vehicles. By 2030, all 10,700 delivery vehicles will be switched to alternative drive systems. 
  • This enables us to deliver around 81 million parcels and 1.5 billion letters with no CO2 emissions every year.
  • From 2026, we will also deliver all letters and parcels using Swiss Post’s own electric vehicles in Biel/Bienne and Lausanne. By the end of 2030, we will deliver throughout Switzerland using electric vehicles.
  • From 2030, 20 percent of the kilometres travelled by Swiss Post’s own vehicles and 5 percent of those travelled by transport partners will be powered by alternative drive systems.
