Domino’s Pizza Group is growing its fleet with the addition of 100% electric delivery vans, marking a further step towards the group’s ambition to reduce emissions across the business, including a significantly greener SCC (Supply Chain Centre) fleet by 2031.
As part of a pilot programme, Domino’s has introduced a Large Electric Renault Master E–Van, to replace a diesel delivery vehicle, which will be focused on deliveries to stores in urban areas. If the trial is successful, Domino’s is planning to invest in further new electric vehicles (EVs) for its SCC fleet over the next 24 months.
The 100% electric delivery van offers a more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles, emitting up to 70% less CO2e in comparison. It is estimated to save 14,844kg CO2e emissions each year, based on mileage of 40,000 miles per annum.[1]
In addition to these vans, this year Domino’s has introduced 58 new distribution trucks with electric refrigeration units from DawsonGroup, further helping to improve and optimise the energy efficiency of the Group’s existing SCC transport. Domino’s is committed to having electric refrigeration units on all its distribution vehicles by 2028, supporting the reduction of its CO2 emissions.
With over 80% of DPG’s Scope 1 emissions attributable to its existing diesel-powered SCC fleet, the adoption of electric vehicles aims to significantly lower Domino’s scope 1 emissions and contribute to a greener future.
This latest environmental initiative builds on the bold commitments set out in Domino’s first ever Sustainability Report, which was published in April 2024. Domino’s aims to reduce its transportation emissions by 3,985t of CO2e by 2026 and have a significantly greener SCC fleet by 2031.
Pete Trundley, supply chain director at Domino’s Pizza Group plc, said: “This electric vehicle trial marks an important milestone in our ambition to create a greener and more sustainable business. We’re also delighted by the arrival of our 58 new trucks with electric refrigeration units. EVs are a key part of our glidepath to achieving Net Zero by 2050. We’re excited to explore the potential of getting more of these vehicles on the road delivering for Domino’s, as we aim to slice our emissions.”
