Ikea plans to go all electricity in their home deliveries in Sweden within the next 5 years, Dn.se reports today (). Their deliveries in the Stockholm region are already delivered in electric vehicles, and 90% of Ikeas’s transport in Sweden is also fossil-fuel free, but Ikea is going for more on the domestic side. Already in Shanghai, Ikea’s last-mile deliveries (from store or warehouse home) are zero-emission, and NY, Paris and Amsterdam are next in line.
According to Ikea itself, Ikea’s total transport distances, not even including these last-mile home deliveries, equal 71 trips to Mars. Ikea plans to reduce their entire emissions worldwide at least 15% by 2030. NASA is planning on reaching Mars sometime in the 2030’s (www.mars.nasa.gov). Let’s see who gets to their goal first.
