Posten’s red Christmas elves are preparing for the busiest time of the year, with the sleds they use increasingly powered by electricity.

Three years ago, half of the population received letters and packages delivered by electric vehicles from Posten Bring. Today, that figure is 85 percent, equivalent to 4.8 million Norwegians.

In the weeks to come, both the electric vehicles and mail carriers will be put to work, as Posten Bring expects a record number of deliveries this Christmas.

80 percent of cars are electric, with trucks following soon

The company’s electric vehicles are now in use from the largest cities to smaller towns, island communities, and Svalbard.

Approximately 80 percent of Posten Brings own vehicles are now fully electric.

In addition, 501 Paxstere vehicles are used for delivering letters and packages. These are also electric and manufactured in Norway.

Posten Bring has made significant progress with heavier vehicles as well, with 200 electric trucks on Norwegian roads.

In the summer, they acquired 14 new ones, bringing the total to about one in five of their own trucks being an electric model.

“We have systematically worked on electrifying our vehicle fleet over many years. The fact that we now deliver to 85 percent of the population electrically shows how much of our delivery network has been transformed,” said Hans-Øyvind Ryen, CEO of Posten Bring, in a press release.
