Pos Malaysia scales up electric logistics fleet, one in three parcels delivered by EV

KUCHING (September 23): Pos Malaysia Bhd (Pos Malaysia) is now delivering one in three parcels by electric vehicle (EV), with 1,585 EVs operating across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

The national postal and parcel service provider said its fleet comprises 1,253 electric motorcycles and 332 electric vans, making it Malaysia’s largest electric logistics fleet.

Since 2023, the fleet has traveled 28.8 million kilometres, while the company has avoided approximately 3,881 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions through fleet electrification.

“At Pos Malaysia, fleet electrification is a key part of our sustainability and decarbonisation journey.

“Today, we operate Malaysia’s largest electric fleet, delivering mail and parcels across the country,” said Pos Malaysia group chief executive officer Charles Brewer.

He said fleet electrification also supports the companyís ambition to achieve 100 per cent green deliveries by 2030 and forms part of its broader pathway towards reducing its operational carbon footprint and achieving net zero by 2050.

“Our priority now is to keep scaling what works — integrating the vehicles, associated infrastructure, data and people to make lower-carbon delivery the core of how we operate,” he said.

More than 2,200 vehicles are equipped with telematics technology, providing operational data to improve route efficiency, driver safety, fleet utilisation and continuous performance improvement.

The results are featured in a Sustainability Impact Case Study developed with the United Nations Global Compact Network Malaysia, Brunei and Cambodia (UNGCMBC), which examines Pos Malaysiaís use of vehicle electrification, charging infrastructure, telematics, capital planning and workforce readiness in its nationwide delivery network.

Pos Malaysia said its fleet electrification programme combines electric vehicles, telematics and network optimisation to scale lower-carbon last-mile delivery while improving fleet efficiency and operational resilience across its national network.

The company said the transition is part of its ambition to achieve 100 per cent green deliveries by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
