DPD UK is scaling its electric delivery fleet with the addition of 381 Ford E-Transit vans. These 3.5-tonne vehicles are scheduled to enter service by mid-November 2026 to manage increased parcel volumes during the Black Friday and Christmas peak seasons.
The new Ford vans feature an extended range compared to previous models, allowing the company to deploy electric vehicles on longer regional routes beyond urban centers. Ford has been a supplier for DPD UK since early 2022, with 350 units added in 2024.
This procurement follows the delivery of 341 Mercedes-Benz eSprinters in September 2026. Prior to these additions, the company operated a fleet of approximately 4,000 electric vehicles. In 2025, DPD delivered over 85 million parcels using electric transport.
