Belgian Post fleet now features 4,165 electric delivery vans

The Belgian national postal company Bpost now operates 4,165 electric delivery vans, accounting for 42 per cent of its entire delivery transporter fleet. According to the company, 1,100 new electric delivery vans have been ordered for this year alone, most of which have already been integrated.

The Belgian Post is accelerating the electrification of its delivery fleet. Its current 4,165 electric delivery vans represent a fourfold increase compared to its EV fleet three years ago. In 2023, Bpost had around 1,000 electric delivery vans, before surpassing the 2,000 mark in summer 2024 and 3,000 in summer/autumn 2025. The procurement pace “corresponds to an increase of about 1,000 electric delivery vans per year,” according to officials.

In 2026, Bpost will also increase the number of its electric transporters by roughly the same magnitude: of the approximately 1,100 newly ordered electric delivery vans for this year, 900 have already been added to the fleet. The remaining 200 from this order are expected to join by the end of the year. Many of the vehicles are sourced from Stellantis. The images below, for example, show electric transporters from the Citroën brand. In parallel, around 3,300 charging points are now available at Bpost locations across Belgium.

According to the company, the electric transporters are replacing internal combustion engine delivery vans that have reached the end of their service life. However, during the upcoming peak delivery period in November and December, they will initially be used alongside conventional transporters before the internal combustion engine vehicles are phased out. Bpost emphasises that “more than 150 postal codes are served by delivery rounds with no direct emissions, for both letters and parcels.” This is an important step towards its goal of converting 85 per cent of the fleet used for the ‘last mile’ to CO₂-emission-free vehicles by the end of the decade.

Rik Vandenberghe, National Fleet & Equipment Manager at Bpost, commented: “The renewal of our fleet is part of a broader transformation of our logistics network. In just three years, we have gone from approximately 1,000 to more than 4,000 electric vans. With these vehicles, as well as our electric bicycles, bike trailers and electric trucks, we are gradually adapting our operations to meet tomorrow’s needs, while continuing to provide reliable service throughout Belgium.”

Vandenberghe’s statement makes it clear: electrification at Bpost is not limited to transporters. The expanded electrically powered fleet currently also includes 3,013 electric bicycles, 556 electric bicycle trailers and two electric trucks.
