We're working with Coles to change the landscape of delivery vehicles in Australia.

Coles' sustainability strategy aims to decarbonise its operations and supply chains.

And as a part of its sustainability focus, Coles welcomes its first electric delivery van to its fleet.

The delivery van, named Sparky by the Coles team, has an on-board battery so its engine doesn't need to idle when stationary. Sparky also emits 0% carbon dioxide, saving approximately 30 tonnes CO2 each year!*

By switching to electric delivery vans, Coles is moving towards a greener future.

Coles' goal is a reduction of 75% in scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by June 2030 and these new electric vans are proof of this commitment.

Custom Fleet and Coles have a shared vision to prioritise sustainability

Together we're delivering eco-friendly delivery vans that meet Coles' sustainability ambitions.

We aim to help electrify as many of our customer's fleets as we can. This will improve both operational excellence and productivity.

We hope that our partnership with Coles is the first of many! And that we encourage other organisations to embrace eco-conscious practices too.

*Average diesel delivery truck = 2.5 tonnes CO2 per month, total Coles Online fleet = ~25,000 tonnes per year on average. 814 vehicles operating per month.
