FedEx has announced the addition of eight electric Mercedes-Benz eVito panel vans to its Singapore delivery fleet, marking a significant step in its sustainability efforts. This expansion means that over a quarter of FedEx’s local fleet is now electric, aligning with the company’s global goal of achieving carbon-neutral operations by 2040. The new vehicles are equipped with advanced safety features, such as a 360° parking camera and Multibeam headlamps, and have a load capacity of 923 kg with a range of up to 321 km per charge.
The introduction of these electric vehicles (EVs) is part of FedEx’s broader strategy to reduce emissions and promote sustainable logistics. Eric Tan, managing director of FedEx Singapore, stated, “Our expansion of electric vehicles in Singapore is a testament to transforming urban logistics to be safer, smarter, and more efficient, whilst reducing emissions.”
FedEx’s commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by its integration of solar energy at its South Pacific Regional Hub, where the EVs are stationed. Since January 2025, over half of the hub’s electricity has been generated from on-site solar panels.
In addition to fleet electrification, FedEx is investing in technologies like AI-powered route optimisation tools to enhance delivery efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. The company is also using sustainable aviation fuel at key airports and deploying electric vehicles across several Asia Pacific markets, including Japan, Australia, and South Korea.
As FedEx continues to innovate and invest in sustainable practices, it aims to support businesses in making lower-emission shipping decisions, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.
