800 vehicles are already on the ground and
delivering pizzas every day
ANN
ARBOR, Mich., June 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza Inc.
(NYSE:DPZ) isn't just the largest pizza company in the world.
It also lays claim to the largest electric pizza delivery
fleet in the country, which is expanding even more. Domino's is
excited to announce that more than 1,100 custom-branded 2023 Chevy
Bolt electric vehicles will be on the ground and in use at select
franchise and corporate stores by the end of the year.
Domino's lays claim to having the largest
electric pizza delivery fleet in the U.S.
"Back in November 2022, Domino's
announced that we'd have 800 EVs on the road by the end of 2023 and
we're excited to say that we've officially reached that number,"
said Joe Jordan, Domino's president
of U.S. and global services. "All 800 vehicles are on the road,
delivering at various stores across the country. We are even more
thrilled to announce that number is growing. Our stores and
franchisees have continued to express their enthusiasm and interest
around EVs, and they've ordered an additional 300-plus cars to be
on the road by the end of the year."
Electric vehicles provide several advantages for Domino's
stores, including ample battery life with the potential to have
days of deliveries, zero tailpipe emissions, advanced safety
features and lower average maintenance costs than nonelectric
vehicles. Domino's is currently partnering with Enterprise Fleet
Management, which offers local hands-on account management, vehicle
acquisition, financing, telematics solutions and maintenance for
the electric delivery fleet.
"We're continuing to see a wide range of advantages from using
EVs," said Jordan. "In addition to business and environmental
benefits, an electric delivery fleet also helps with hiring
drivers, as they open up a whole new pool of job candidates who may
not have their own vehicles."
