Electric Vehicle Adoption in Last-Mile Delivery: Industry Survey in Johannesburg

The University of Johannesburg’s Process, Energy and Environmental Technology Station (UJ PEETS) is currently conducting a research study on the use and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) for last-mile delivery (LMD) in Johannesburg, Gauteng.

The study aims to better understand:

• The types of delivery vehicles currently in use
• Industry perceptions of electric vehicles, including ease of use, benefits and challenges
• The readiness of the delivery sector to transition toward a greener, more sustainable and circular economy

Importantly, companies do not need to currently use electric vehicles to participate. Insights from organisations using conventional or hybrid delivery vehicles are equally valuable.

Industry Participation Requested

Smarter Mobility Africa is supporting this initiative, and stakeholders across the mobility and logistics ecosystem are encouraged to contribute by:

• Completing and sharing the survey within relevant networks
• Facilitating introductions to companies offering delivery services that may be willing to participate

Survey Details

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and confidential.
