EV Deliveries Surpass Diesel
In August 2025, IKEA Canada completed a groundbreaking 72% of its big and bulky truck home deliveries using electric vehicles (EVs). For the first time, EV deliveries outpaced those by internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks. This leap forward underscores IKEA Canada’s commitment to transforming its delivery operations into a more sustainable model.
Partnerships Drive Success
At the core of this milestone lies a collaborative approach with service partners. IKEA Canada worked closely with logistics providers, ensuring that infrastructure and scheduling were optimized for electric vehicles. A nationwide rollout of fleet chargers allowed drivers to reliably power their EV trucks, making zero-emission deliveries more feasible and efficient across the country.
Supporting Ingka Group’s Zero-Emission Target
This step aligns IKEA Canada with Ingka Group’s global ambition: to exceed 90% zero-emission (ZE) home deliveries by 2028. By surpassing ICE trucks in just a short period, IKEA Canada demonstrates how regional success contributes to larger corporate goals. The company’s leadership in deploying electric fleets signals an ongoing shift toward decarbonized operations within the group.
Environmental Commitment and Future Outlook
Beyond statistics, this move is part of IKEA Canada’s promise to be a good neighbor in the communities it serves. By cutting down on diesel use and investing in cleaner technologies, the retailer aims to improve local air quality around its stores and distribution centers. As the company continues its transition away from fossil fuel delivery fleets, it remains on track to surpass new sustainability benchmarks and amplify positive impacts on both local and global scales.
