Wishing all our US clients, service partners and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Wheels We Deliver take this challenge very seriously and are proud to say we are playing our part to offer a green courier service to reduce our ecological footprint, improve our service to customers and improve air quality for our couriers on the road in Dublin city.
We are working with clients to cluster deliveries to reduce time on the road, dead mileage and ultimately the GHG emitted. Our vision is to offer you the best green delivery service -the right vehicle for the right package, at the right time, resulting in the lowest environmental impact to our planet.
The original zero emission vehicle! We have a large pushbike courier fleet in Dublin; each bike saves 2.5 tonnes of GHG emissions per year.
Wheels We Deliver boast Dublin’s largest fleet of Cargo Bikes which can carry the load of a small van and dart through trafic using cycle lanes.
To give a sense of the impact these new vehicle types can have, one cargo bike has a load capacity of up to 50kg and can carry a similar load to a small van. These bikes complete jobs 50% faster than a small van at peak times, with each bike completing 10 jobs a day and saving up to four tonnes of GHG emissions per year.
We continue to expand our electric vehicle fleet, reducing the GHG and noise impact on urban delivery. These vehicles can travel up to 120 miles per day on a full charge, saving 8 tonnes of GHG emissions per year.
Our Green Hub, based out of our city Centre office in Dublin 1, is the central point to charge our electric vans based throughout the city and also where our growing cargo bike fleet are based.
4 tonnes of CO2 saved per year by each cargo bike used instead of a van.
100% of energy at our Dublin office is powered by renewable energy.
Intelligent scheduling to reduce unnecessary journeys and dead mileage, and boost effciency.

Wishing all our US clients, service partners and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!
