We are on the lookout for motivated motorcycle riders to join our postie community to deliver letters and parcels in. (Shame that most of them will be powered by electricity from coal-fired power stations!)Īustralia Post will also roll out an additional 4000 electric pushbikes, bringing its total to 5980 over the next three years. 50,697 plus 12 super per annum & 15 loading. “They will also help us achieve our commitment of reducing our carbon emissions by 25% by 2020.” “Our posties love the eDVs because they demonstrate our commitment to providing safer and more sustainable employment into the future, given consumers are sending fewer letters and relying more and more on their postie to deliver their parcels. We have worked closely with our posties to make improvements along the way. “We started trialling eDVs in 2017 and we’ve since deployed them in all states. They are easier to see on the road, more stable, have increased rider protection and lower on-road speeds, all of which reduce a postie’s exposure to incidents and serious accidents,” he says. “The eDVs are safer than the traditional motorcycle. “These vehicles offer additional carrying capacity, so our posties can deliver more parcels than ever before directly to the customer’s door – and can perform additional functions, such as collecting mail from street posting boxes.” ‘Safer and greener’Īlong with delivery benefits, Bob reckons the electric vehicles also have safety and environmental benefits. “With parcel volumes growing – on average, close to 10% each year for the last three years – and letter volumes declining, we’re always looking for ways to ensure our posties continue to play an important and sustainable role in the community,” he says. Australia Post Group Chief Operating Officer Bob Black says the 1000 eDVs will become the nation’s largest electric vehicle fleet.
