Delivery trucks will be located in all major cities
 
ZAGREB, March 31, 2023 – 27 new Iveco delivery trucks have arrived in the fleet of Croatian Post. 24 trucks with a carrying capacity of 10 tons and three medium-heavy trucks with a carrying capacity of five tons were purchased. The handover of the vehicle was attended by the members of the Croatian Post Management Siniša Šukunda and Hrvoje Parlov, as well as the director of the Benussi company, Silvano Benussi, with his colleagues.

2,717,474.40 euros without VAT were invested in the purchase of the trucks, and the price of the five-year contract includes maintenance costs, insurance costs and comprehensive insurance. The newly acquired trucks will replace similar vehicles from 2017 that have covered a total of 12.5 million kilometers. The new trucks have engines that are characterized by reduced fuel consumption, as well as lower maintenance costs and comply with the very strict Euro VI C environmental standards for the emission of harmful gases.

In line with the transformation of business into a sustainable and green one, Croatian Post continues to modernize its vehicle fleet by purchasing vehicles that pollute the environment less and enable more efficient transport of shipments and other cargo. At the beginning of the year, the biggest procurement cycle of electric vehicles was completed. From October 2022 to January 2023, Croatian Post acquired 157 new electric vehicles, and for the first time delivery vans were included in the purchase. The postal green fleet now has more than 320 electric vehicles, which include 114 vans and light delivery vehicles.

Along with the expansion of the green vehicle fleet, Croatian Post is also expanding its own network of charging stations for electric vehicles. So far, it has installed around 40 charging stations, and by the middle of this year there will be more than 80. The charging stations will be located in 18 cities, from Osijek to Dubrovnik, which will ensure the prerequisites for expanding the fleet of electric vehicles throughout Croatia.
