SingPost launches trial of mail delivery e-vehicle

SINGAPORE Post Ltd (SingPost) and TUMCREATE will commence a road trial of a prototype electric vehicle on March 28, 2017.

The three-wheeler is environmentally friendly and features innovations to boost mail delivery efficiency. The e-vehicle is designed to streamline postal processes, improve rider experience, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The vehicle was developed by researchers with the support of the management team at TUMCREATE, in conjunction with SingPost. It will serve as a test bed for concepts that will guide SingPost's application of electric vehicle technology for postal operations and eCommerce logistics.
