Singapore, January 26, 2025 – Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has added eight additional electric Mercedes-Benz eVito panel vans to its Singapore delivery fleet. With these additions, more than a quarter of the entire Singapore pickup and delivery fleet is electric.
Advanced Features for Safety and Efficiency
The new EVs boast advanced features that prioritise driver comfort, safety, and efficiency, including a 360° parking camera for safer manoeuvring in tight parking and loading spaces, and Multibeam headlamps with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus for enhanced visibility. These EVs will also retain the FedEx fleet specifications introduced with last year’s eVito panel vans, such as 270° rear swing doors for easy access and sliding doors on both sides for faster deliveries.
With a load capacity of 923 kg and an estimated range of up to 321 km per full charge, these EVs are well-suited to the demands of Singapore’s delivery routes.
Owned and operated directly by FedEx, these new electric vehicles (EVs) are 2024-model eVito panel vans, representing the latest variant. They build on last year’s deployment of earlier-generation eVito panel vans, replace diesel-powered vehicles, and reinforce the company’s commitment to fleet electrification and sustainable logistics.
Driving sustainability forward
The eight new EVs are projected to reduce tailpipe CO₂ emissions by roughly 38 tons annually[1]. Combined with the existing eVito panel vans, Singapore’s fleet of 39 EVs now avoids an estimated 186 tons of CO₂ each year. These efforts align with the company’s global goal of achieving carbon-neutral operations by 2040.
These efforts are further supported by the integration of solar energy at the FedEx South Pacific Regional Hub, where the EVs are stationed. Since January 2025, over half of the hub’s electricity has been generated from on-site solar panels, promoting more sustainable operations.
“At FedEx, sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. Our expansion of electric vehicles in Singapore is a testament to this - it’s about transforming urban logistics to be safer, smarter, and more efficient, while reducing emissions and supporting Singapore’s sustainability push,” said Eric Tan, managing director, FedEx Singapore.
FedEx is driving sustainability across its operations, with investments in aircraft modernisation, sustainable fuels, renewable energy, and efficient facilities. FedEx also uses route optimisation tools to maximise efficiency, reinforcing its commitment to electrifying its delivery fleet - which include recent roll-outs in Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The company is also supporting carbon sequestration research.
