We're adding another 2,100 electric vans to our fleet over the next year as part of our plans to achieve Net-Zero carbon emissions by 2040. We already have the largest electric delivery fleet in the UK with around 5,000 vans, and the new additions will increase the total by almost half in just one year, bringing it to 7,100. The new electric vehicles, which will be the first of our famous red vans to include the new King’s cruciform and livery, will be rolled out from August across the UK. We plan for more than half to be on the streets in time for the Christmas shopping period, helping to provide greener deliveries during the busiest time of the year. Most of the vans will be charged on-site at Royal Mail’s delivery offices via a purchased 100% renewable electricity supply meaning they will be zero-emission. When all 2,100 new electric vans are in use, they are expected to reduce Royal Mail’s total emissions by around 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

We've launched our latest trial to deliver mail by drone, in collaboration with drone specialists Skyports Drone Services and Argyll and Bute Council. The drone flights are running between the remote isles of Islay and Jura in the Inner Hebrides until 26 July, with postal workers loading and unloading mail on both sides for the first time. The multirotor drone, which can carry payloads of up to 6kg, is the same one used in our previous trial in Orkney. It is transporting mail that is usually taken via ferry in a Royal Mail van. This is the sixth time that we've trialled drones and the second using Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) flying, which allows drones to travel further than the standard Visual Line of Sight by making use of ‘trained observers’ along its route. These observers keep the pilot, who is flying the drone remotely, updated on critical information to ensure the drone maintains a safe distance from other air users, structures and any hazards. The use of electric drones for inter-island delivery also brings significant safety improvements, ensuring postal workers can deliver between ports and marinas without risk, as well as emission savings.

Over the last 24 hours we’ve been inundated with tags, messages, and comments in relation to this viral content, all of which has been overwhelmingly positive, but we can’t take the credit for this work. Although this isn’t a genuine ad from us, and we pride ourselves on knocking and waiting at the doorstep, we’d love to find the original creator and we hope your likes and shares will help us to do that. It’s also sparked a bit of a debate in the office over what this ‘game’ is called. Let us know in the comments below what you know it as.
