Top 10: Sustainable Fleets
Falling battery costs, new megawatt charging networks and tougher city emissions rules are reshaping how goods move around the world.
This list celebrates the companies turning big climate promises into real-world zero-emission operations.
From using AI to plan cleaner routes to deploying green hydrogen for long-haul transport, they are proving that decarbonising fleets is now a hallmark of smart, resilient business.
10. XPO Logistics
Head of Sustainability: Nicholas Head
HQ: Greenwich, Connecticut, US
XPO has solidified its position as a leader in less-than-truckload (LTL) decarbonisation by bridging the gap between North American scale and European innovation. The company is reaping the benefits of its LESS (Low Emissions Sustainable Solutions) programme, which aggressively promotes the use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and electric powertrains.
XPO’s European operations now have more than 350 all-electric trucks integrated into the network.
XPO's strategy focuses on "density-driven sustainability", using proprietary AI to optimise trailer capacity and minimise empty miles, effectively reducing the carbon intensity of every pound of freight moved.
9. Maersk
Morten Bo Christiansen. Senior Vice President, Head of Decarbonisation
HQ: Copenhagen, Denmark
While traditionally a shipping giant, Maersk’s Integrated Logistics strategy means it now owns a massive land-based fleet. In 2026, Maersk is a leader in low-carbon inland freight.
It has commissioned thousands of electric heavy-duty trucks to ensure that a "green" container arriving at a port stays "green" until it reaches the warehouse.
The company’s focus is on the well-to-wheel emissions of its energy, sourcing 100% renewable electricity for charging depots.
8. PepsiCo
Chief Sustainability Officer: Jim Andrew
HQ: Purchase, New York, US
PepsiCo’s fleet decarbonisation is focused on the heavy-duty challenge of moving beverages.
After its pioneer status with the Tesla Semi, PepsiCo has scaled its zero-emission fleet to include hydrogen-powered heavy trucks for long-haul routes in water-scarce regions.
The Frito-Lay facility in Modesto, California, serves as a Global Sustainability Lighthouse, operating with a near-100% zero-emission fleet that includes electric tractors, vans and even electric-powered refrigerated trailers.
7. FedEx
Chief Sustainability Officer: Karen Blanks Ellis
HQ: Memphis, Tennessee, US
FedEx is deep into its Move70 plan, aiming for 50% of all global pickup and delivery (PUD) vehicle purchases to be electric. The company has focused heavily on the modernisation of its air fleet, which accounts for the bulk of its emissions, but on the ground, the rollout of BrightDrop electric vans has streamlined operations in California and London. FedEx’s data-driven approach allows it to retire older, less efficient combustion engines at a rate of 10% per year.
6. Schneider Electric
Chief Sustainability Officer: Esther Finidori
HQ: Rueil-Malmaison, France
As the world's most sustainable corporation, Schneider Electric leads by example. The company’s fleet isn’t just about delivery but is a mobile laboratory for V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology.
Every one of the more than 40,000 corporate vehicles is electric. These vehicles act as distributed batteries, discharging energy back into Schneider buildings during peak hours to stabilise the grid. This prosumer fleet model has become the gold standard for corporate HQ energy management.
5. Walmart
Chief Sustainability Officer: Kathleen McLaughlin
HQ: Bentonville, Arkansas, US
Walmart’s sustainable fleet strategy is built on the scale of the American highway. In 2026, the company successfully transitioned 40% of its yard trucks, the vehicles that move trailers at distribution centres, to electric power.
More impressively, Walmart is now the largest commercial operator of Tesla Semis, using them for short-haul regional deliveries.
Walmart’s Project Gigaton has expanded to include logistics, requiring third-party carriers to provide transparent carbon-intensity data for every mile driven.
4. UPS
V.P. Global Plant Engineering and Chief Sustainability Officer: Scott Wicker
HQ: Atlanta, Georgia, US
UPS has reached a critical milestone in 2026 with the full integration of its 10,000-unit order from Arrival.
Beyond vans, UPS has revolutionised urban delivery through e-quads, electric-assist cargo bikes that can navigate dense European and Asian city centers where traditional vans are banned. Its proprietary ORION routing software has been upgraded with AI to prioritise charging-efficient routes, reducing energy consumption by an additional 12% across the global Brown Cafe fleet.
3. IKEA (Ingka Group)
Chief Sustainability Officer: Karen Pflug
HQ: Leiden, Netherlands
IKEA is the first major retailer to achieve 100% zero-emission home deliveries in major global cities, including New York, Paris and Shanghai. The company’s strategy is unique because it treats the last mile as a circular loop, with delivery vans often doubling as collection vehicles for recycled furniture.
IKEA has also invested heavily in EV infrastructure that is accessible to the public, turning its iconic blue-box stores into regional charging hubs for both its fleet and its customers.
2. DHL Group
EVP Corporate Communications and Sustainability: Nicola Leske
HQ: Bonn, Germany
DHL Group remains a global benchmark for multi-modal sustainability.
By 2030, it aims to electrify 66% of its last-mile delivery fleet and currently has over 50,000 EVs on the road.
It also plans to use 30% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending for all air transport by 2030. In 2025, the company used a 10% of SAF blend in its own air fleet, nearly tripling the share compared to 2024.
By offering GoGreen Plus, DHL also empowers customers to reduce their Scope 3 emissions through direct carbon insetting.
1. Amazon
Chief Sustainability Officer: Kara Hurst
HQ: Seattle, Washington, US
Amazon continues to dominate the rankings by sheer volume and speed. With more than 100,000 Rivian electric delivery vans now operational across the US and Europe, the company has effectively rewritten the last-mile playbook.
Amazon has expanded its Climate Pledge Friendly badge to include delivery logistics, ensuring that a significant portion of its multi-billion-package annual volume travels via zero-emission corridors.
Its focus has shifted toward megawatt charging stations to support a growing fleet of heavy-duty Volvo and Mercedes-Benz electric trucks for middle-mile logistics.
