Eight years after introducing a small fleet of DXP delivery cars, Domino’s Pizza announced that more than 1,100 custom-branded Chevy Bolt electric vehicles will be in use at franchise and corporate stores by the end of the year.
The soon-to-be-discontinued Chevy Bolt is one of the most affordable EVs, with an approximate range of 180 miles.
It’s a big deal for the world’s largest pizza company, as the new EV fleet will be dramatically larger than its DXP vehicles, which were largely a marketing vehicle. The Michigan-based company is calling it the largest electric pizza delivery fleet in the country, with more than 800 EVs in service.
“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.”
