Sustainability and Impact:

HIVED’s fleet consists exclusively of electric vehicles, which contribute to lower emissions compared to traditional diesel vehicles.[5] A 2023 Life Cycle Assessment noted that HIVED deliveries can reduce carbon emissions by up to 76% compared to conventional alternatives.[6] In addition to fleet electrification, the company collaborates with organisations focused on mitigating various environmental impacts of road transport, such as tire recycling and particulate matter capture.[7]
