Electric Vehicle News: Plugging into the future

News on electric vehicles travels fast – it’s hard to keep up. At DHL, we stay plugged into the EV market because EVs are an important part of our sustainability approach. Here’s an update. 

News flash: Global electric vehicle (EV) sales may have faced headwinds recently, but forecasts still show a significant increase in the EV market growth – 16% higher than in 2023. The trend for the next decade is more of the same, with the global share of EVs forecast to reach 22.1% in 2025 and increase to 69.7% by 2035. This means over 71 million units will be produced in 2035, up from 14 million in 2023.

Today, we continue to drive innovation. Our roadmap to sustainability includes EVs – and we’ve set a target to electrify 66% of our last-mile delivery vehicles by 2030. As a result, our sustainable fleet steadily grows.
