Tesco: Zero emission home delivery vans

Well it looks like Tesco are at it again with another environmental move. A few days ago Tesco announced that all customers that use their .com service that are within the range of their new environmental store in Shrewsbury will have their groceries delivered by a new fleet of zero emissions delivery vans.

The new vans are made by a company called Modec who specialise in electric commercial vehicles. The vans have the same capacity as the current .com vans along with a 100 mile range which should mean all deliveries in the area can be completed without any trouble.

Tesco predict that the vans will save approximately 21 tonnes of CO2 a year per van, plus they will also save the CO2 of around 6000 car journeys a year that the .com business takes off the road due to people not having to visit the store.

Hopefully these new vans will really take off and soon we'll all be able to get our groceries delivered by zero emissions vans.
