Called Xpress , the EV delivery service operates using a fleet of BYD Dolphins to make overnight deliveries in Gauteng and surrounding areas.
"The company is unique in that we run a fleet of pure EVs," said Alex Stainland, managing partner at Special Envoy.
"We have been in the logistics industry for over 40 years. Our parent company, Special Envoy, has been delivering freight to the mining industry, primarily in Gauteng and Mpumalanga, and I realised that a courier service is well within the scope of what we already offer."
Each Xpress delivery costs customers R99 and is guaranteed to get to be reach the customer the following day if booked before 10am. Parcel tracking is available via the Xpress website.
Stainland said the idea for Xpress grew out of the need for an on-brand courier service for one of his other businesses, mUther, an online smart home equipment store.
