The public’s general awareness of the damage being done to the environment is increasing, and as such, more and more individuals and companies are turning towards electric vehicles, which are without a doubt the vehicles of the future. Croatian Post (Hrvatska Pošta) is just one of them.
As Poslovni Dnevnik/Darko Bicak writes on the 13th of June, 2019, Croatian Post will also add to the production, distribution and sale of electrical energy within its scope of activities, as stood out from the invitation to the General Assembly of the public company which was initially published through the Zagreb Stock Exchange.
While one might conclude that Croatian Post wants to reverse the trend on the Croatian market, where small energy companies are bundling or outsourcing such activities from larger companies and selling them on to specialised market leaders, Croatian Post has revealed that their move is primarily being done in order to maintain its ever-increasing fleet of electric bicycles and other postal vehicles.
“Socially responsible business is one of the most important determinants of Croatian Post’s strategy for 2022, as are concerns for our employees, the community and the environment, all of which remain in our constant focus.
In mid-May, we enriched our fleet with twenty electric quadricycles, and for four years now, our postmen and women have been using 180 electric bikes.
Croatin Post is also planning to build a powerhouse for electric vehicles in their new sorting centre. A new sorting center coming with a total value of 350 million kuna is the largest capital investment in the history of Croatian Post, and the new location near Velika Gorica will soon see as many as 1400 workers move to it.
As Croatian Post is present in all parts of the Republic of Croatia, in the future, we won’t exclude the possibility of building additional charging stations for commercial purposes,” stated Croatian Post’s office for corporate communications.
