One in five Belgians receives emission-free parcels and mail thanks to bpost
Thanks to its growing network of pick-up points and parcel lockers, bpost is closer to Belgians than ever. Combined with the country’s largest fleet of electric vehicles, this has enabled bpost to deliver more than one in five parcels emission-free. But the ambitions go even further: by 2030, bpost aims to make all its deliveries emission-free.
Thursday 6 March 2025Every day, 10,000 bpost mail carriers deliver an average of 500,000 parcels across the country, a number that rises to over 800,000 during peak periods. Today, bpost successfully delivers 21% of these parcels without producing emissions —that’s more than one in five deliveries. These deliveries already cover 109 postal codes and reach 22% of the Belgian population, figures that are set to grow significantly this year as bpost is planning to expand its emission-free deliveries in 2025 to cities including Antwerp, Charleroi, Mouscron, Wavre, Lier, Eeklo, and the Westhoek region.
Zero emissions everywhere by 2030
This important symbolic milestone shows that bpost is well on its way to achieving its goal of 100% emission-free deliveries in Belgium by 2030. To reach this goal, bpost continues to invest heavily in an expanding network of post offices, Post Points, Parcel Points, and parcel lockers. There are already over 3,500 bpost locations across the country, ensuring that every Belgian is within six minutes of a pick-up point. Beyond enhancing customer convenience, this network enables bpost to deliver more parcels emission-free than ever before.
The largest electric fleet in the country
In addition to a dense network of pick-up points, bpost is also building an electric fleet and expanding bicycle deliveries. With 2,200 electric vans and 500 e-bike trailers (trailers that allow parcels to be delivered by bicycle), bpost currently operates the largest electric fleet in Belgium. The company is also investing in the necessary infrastructure to charge all these vehicles and bikes. For example, by 2025, more than 10,000 square meters of new solar panels will be installed.
