Bpost now runs 4,165 electric vans, 42% of its van fleet, with 3,300 charging points installed
By Eve
Belgian postal service Bpost says it has 4,165 electric vans in operation, equal to 42% of its van fleet and four times the number three years ago. Of the 1,100 vehicles ordered this year, nearly 900 are already in service, with the rest due over the coming weeks to replace combustion-engine vans, and more than 150 postal codes are now served by EVs. The company has installed 3,300 charging points at its Belgian sites and targets 85% electrification of its last-mile fleet by 2030, as reported on 5 November 2026.
Why it matters
A fleet that has grown from roughly 1,000 to more than 4,000 electric vans in three years, backed by 3,300 depot charging points, shows the pace of depot-led demand in Belgium. The gap between 42% today and an 85% target by 2030 points to continued demand for depot charging hardware, installation and energy management.

Peugeot e-Expert van offers up to 356 km WLTP range with 75 kWh battery and 11 kW three phase onboard charger
In a sponsored feature (commercial collaboration with Peugeot) tied to the October 2026 price list update, the 136 hp (100 kW) e-Expert is offered with a 49 kWh battery for 226 km or a 75 kWh battery for 356 km WLTP, at 23.2 to 24.7 kWh per 100 km. It has an 11 kW three phase bidirectional onboard charger with V2L readiness, and up to 31 minutes to recover 80% of charge. It comes in M (4.98 m) and XL (5.33 m) lengths with roughly 1,000 kg payload, and includes the e-ROUTES app for 10 years via Connect ONE to plan charging stops.
Why it matters
A mid-size van with a 75 kWh pack and a three phase 11 kW onboard charger points to depot and overnight charging as the main use case for tradespeople and fleets, so site specifications should assume AC provision at that level. Bidirectional capability with V2L readiness and built-in charge stop planning are also worth noting when scoping fleet charging contracts.
Envoy and LACI Collaborate on Electric Car Sharing Across New Jersey in $8.5 Million Initiative Funded by NJDEP
Envoy and LACI are working together to bring electric car sharing across New Jersey, through an initiative worth $8.5 million and funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). Residents would be able to use shared electric vehicles by the hour or day, without the ongoing financial commitments of vehicle ownership. The item was published by COCH Stock News, and the excerpt gives no site counts, vehicle numbers or timelines.
Why it matters
State funded shared EV fleets can create steady, predictable charging demand, so CPOs and installers may find opportunities if the programme specifies charging provision. Procurement teams should watch for further detail on locations, vehicle numbers and who will supply and operate the chargers.
Hillcrest and Equipmake sign definitive agreement to jointly develop and license ZVS inverter technology for heavy duty electric vehicles
Hillcrest and Equipmake have signed a definitive agreement to jointly develop and license ZVS inverter technology aimed at heavy duty electric vehicles, according to a HLRTF Stock News listing. Royalties depend on Equipmake beginning commercial sales, and Hillcrest retains ownership of its ZVS technology. The listing gives no financial terms, volumes or timelines.
Why it matters
Heavy duty vehicle powertrain developments shape the future power and depot charging requirements that CPOs and procurement teams will need to serve. With royalties tied to Equipmake starting commercial sales and no dates disclosed, this is a pipeline signal to watch rather than a near term demand driver.
