Evri has expanded its electric delivery fleet and last-mile infrastructure as part of a record year in which parcel volumes rose by 11% to 807 million.
The UK-based logistics firm, formerly Hermes, confirmed it now delivers more than three million parcels annually via electric vehicle (EV) or eCargo bike.
Over the past year it grew its electric fleet by a further 100 eCargo bikes, with plans to scale to 3,000 within the next decade.
The investment in fleet decarbonisation formed part of wider operational expansion that saw Evri double its investment in infrastructure year-on-year.
Three depots were opened in 2024 – located in Tyneside, Pen-y-Bont and Sheffield – adding capacity and improving geographic reach across the UK.
Evri’s sustainable delivery strategy sits alongside a broader commitment to customer service innovation and network growth.
The company’s mobile app was updated in 2024 to allow for improved parcel tracking, voice accessibility and more flexible delivery preferences.
Martijn De Lange, CEO at Evri, said: “Last year was a standout 12 months for Evri. The business is in great health, and our parcel volumes are growing.
“We’ve also continued to invest for the future with a clear strategy that will ensure we continue to be the carrier of choice for consumers, clients and colleagues.”
As part of a £50m post-period investment, Evri plans to double the number of ParcelShops and lockers in its network to 25,000 by 2030.
The company also confirmed it would continue its hybrid delivery model of employed and self-employed couriers.
Evri’s revenue for 2024-25 reached £1.6bn, with adjusted EBITDA of £125m.
The business was carbon-neutral for direct emissions and electricity use during the period, and remains committed to achieving net zero by 2035.
