♦ DHL orders 12 all-electric cargo planes from Eviation. Global express delivery and logistics services provider DHL Express recently said it ordered 12 fully electric Alice eCargo planes from Seattle-based Eviation. DHL said that its objective is to establish what it called "an unparalleled electric express network" and make what it called a "pioneering step into a sustainable aviation future." The company added that Evation's Alice planes enable both cargo and passenger airlines to operate a zero-emissions fleet, with DHL noting that Eviation has a 2024 target date to deliver the Alice aircraft to DHL. "We firmly believe in a future with zero-emission logistics," says John Pearson, CEO of DHL Express. "Therefore, our investments always follow the objective of improving our carbon footprint. On our way to clean logistics operations, the electrification of every transport mode plays a crucial role and will significantly contribute to our overall sustainability goal of zero emissions." |
