Domino starts electric delivery van trials

Domino’s Pizza Group is starting an electric van trial marking a further step towards the group’s ambition to reduce emissions across the business, including a significantly greener supply chain centre fleet by 2031.

As part of a pilot programme, Domino’s has introduced an electric Renault Master E–Tech van, to replace a diesel delivery vehicle, which will be focused on deliveries to stores in urban areas.

If the trial is successful, Domino’s is planning to invest in further new electric vehicles (EVs) for its supply chain centre fleet over the next 24 months.

In addition to electrifying its van fleet, Domino’s has introduced 58 new distribution trucks with electric refrigeration units from DawsonGroup. 

Domino’s is committed to having electric refrigeration units on all its distribution vehicles by 2028, supporting the reduction of its CO2 emissions. 

With over 80% of its Scope 1 emissions attributable to its existing diesel-powered supply chain centre fleet, the adoption of EVs aims to help tackle this. 

Pete Trundley, supply chain director at Domino’s Pizza Group, said: “This electric vehicle trial marks an important milestone in our ambition to create a greener and more sustainable business. 

“We’re also delighted by the arrival of our 58 new trucks with electric refrigeration units. EVs are a key part of our glidepath to achieving net zero by 2050. 

“We’re excited to explore the potential of getting more of these vehicles on the road delivering for Domino’s, as we aim to slice our emissions.”
