Domino's Pizza, Inc. is making a move towards green delivery with the introduction of 800 custom-branded 2023 Chevy Bolt electric vehicles. This is the largest electric pizza-delivery fleet in the country and is a shift away from the traditional model of employing delivery people who drive their own cars. The move is aimed at reducing costs and making a positive environmental impact.
Domino's has a long history of delivery innovation, beginning with founder Tom Monaghan launching Domino’s with a Volkswagen Beetle in 1960 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They have since released a custom-built pizza-delivery vehicle, DXP, and are already delivering pizza in 24 international markets with electric bikes and scooters. The custom-branded Bolts offer the advantages of ample battery life and cost savings from avoiding high gas prices.
The new Bolts will let Domino's procure and hire people from a different pool, and in a pinch, they can take another insider from the restaurant and deliver with that vehicle. Domino's commitment to sustainability is evident in their 2022 Stewardship Report, which highlights their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and continued investment in renewable energy.
The introduction of 800 custom-branded electric vehicles is an effort to reduce costs, making a positive environmental impact, and expand Domino's delivery capabilities. It is a continuation of the company's long-standing commitment to innovation and sustainability.
