Freight management specialist Special Envoy has launched a courier service that uses electric vehicles to fulfil its deliveries exclusively.
Called Xpress, the EV delivery service operates using a fleet of BYD Dolphins to make overnight deliveries in Gauteng and surrounding areas.
“The company is unique in that we run a fleet of pure EVs,” said Alex Stainland, managing partner at Special Envoy.
“We have been in the logistics industry for over 40 years. Our parent company, Special Envoy, has been delivering freight to the mining industry, primarily in Gauteng and Mpumalanga, and I realised that a courier service is well within the scope of what we already offer.”
