GEODIS launches new EV delivery solution in Vietnam

Announced on July 23, the deployment supports GEODIS' wider commitment to reduce emissions and contribute to Vietnam's transition to low-emission transport.

To operate last mile business-to-business and business-to-consumer deliveries for customers across the luxury and retail sectors, GEODIS will deploy the VinFast EC Van 2026. The company is one of the first logistics providers to introduce electric powered urban distribution in Vietnam.

“Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in supply chain decisions, but customers also expect reliability, flexibility and speed. Our focus is on demonstrating that electric vehicles can deliver on all of these requirements in a real-world urban environment. This deployment gives us valuable operational insights that will help us expand lower-carbon delivery solutions as the market continues to evolve,” said Chandler So, managing director of GEODIS Vietnam.

Purpose-built for urban transportation, the VinFast EC Van combines compact dimensions with high cargo efficiency, making it well suited for navigating city streets and varied road conditions while maintaining delivery reliability. The EV is designed to support daily delivery operations while helping to reduce noise and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through zero tailpipe emissions.

In Vietnam, GEODIS is working closely with key ecosystem partners, including vehicle manufacturers and infrastructure stakeholders, to support EV deployment readiness, operational reliability, and future fleet scalability. GEODIS will continue to assess opportunities to expand its electric vehicle fleet and introduce additional lower-carbon logistics initiatives across its operations in Vietnam.

Throughout the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region, GEODIS is adopting lower carbon options, e.g. electric or biodiesel vehicles, for first/last mile transportation where operationally feasible.
