Wincanton invests in electric vehicles for IKEA

Wincanton, a supply chain partner for UK business, made a heavy investment in electric vehicle technology to provide home delivery services for IKEA.

More specifically, the investment has seen Wincanton purchase 30 electric home delivery vehicles, comprising of ten 16-tonne trucks and twenty vans, to support IKEA’s goal of reaching 100% zero emission last mile deliveries by 2025.

Additionally, the new fleet is expected to save Wincanton 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year, across just over 10,000 journeys per annum.

John Welsh, fulfilment sourcing manager of IKEA UK & Ireland, commented, “Wincanton are making a significant contribution towards IKEA’s journey to sustainable fulfilment of our customers’ needs. We are delighted to be working together with Wincanton to build and evolve our partnership for a more sustainable future.”

He added, “This first step is fundamental in not only supporting IKEA’s goal of reaching 100% Zero Emission last mile deliveries by 2025 but also accelerates our ambition for zero-output emission vehicles on the road within London.”

Furthermore, the vehicles, supplied by Renault Trucks and Ford, will carry deliveries to the homes of IKEA customers across Greater London and the Southeast of England from Spring 2023.
