In 2019, Domino’s ran a test program using custom electric bikes for pizza deliveries to reduce emissions and save on gas. As a result, Domino’s saw quicker delivery times and higher team member satisfaction.
The company expanded the program after proving to be a hit with delivery drivers and customers.
However, Domino’s is now taking its zero-emission ambitions to a new level. Domino’s says over 100 custom-branded 2023 Chevy Bolt EVs will roll out in the US this month, with plans to add an additional 700 over the next few months.
The company known for perfecting pizza delivery is now one of the first to implement EVs at scale. Domino’s launched pizza delivery in 1960 using a VW Beatle. In 2015, the company tested self-driving delivery and is now taking significant steps to reduce emissions, cut costs, and drive employee satisfaction.
CEO Russel Weiner, says:
Domino’s has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We’ve made a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and this is one way we can begin reducing our environmental impact, one delivery at a time.
