Asda to launch 112 more electric delivery vans

Asda is injecting £1.3 million into launching an extra 112 electric home delivery vans and charging points at its stores across the UK.

This will bring its electric fleet up to 194 vehicles.

Asda first rolled out electric vehicles at its Gillingham and Sheffield stores in 2023. Now, by September, 21 Asda stores aim to operate a fully electric home delivery van fleet, with these EVs expected to make over one million deliveries in the year to go. 

These electric vans have a range of up to 130 miles and will help save 1700kg of CO2 emissions each year.

The new announcement follows on from when Asda invested in two Bio-LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) refuelling facilities in 2024, as the retailer continues to make progress towards reducing overall carbon emissions. Asda has the largest fleet of LNG fuelled trucks in the UK, which is a lower carbon alternative to diesel.

Emma Newton, senior director, said: “We’re always looking at how we can better serve our customers and for new ways to reduce our carbon emissions as a business, so we’re delivering to be more than doubling our electric fleet of grocery home shopping vehicles.”
