Zero-Emission Logistics Gains Momentum as Hived Expands Beyond London
© Hived - Expands Beyond London
Hived, the fully electric parcel delivery company, is making headlines again, this time for taking its zero-emission delivery model beyond Greater London. With its latest expansion, Hived will now operate in eight new cities and towns across the UK: Bath, Bournemouth, Brighton, Bristol, Poole, Portsmouth, Southampton and Worthing.
This move represents more than just geographic growth. It’s a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to build a nationwide, sustainable logistics network. For the logistics industry, this is a powerful signal that zero-emission operations are not only viable, they’re scalable.
Hived’s existing partners include major retail names such as Nespresso, Liberty of London, Gousto and John Lewis. These partnerships, along with a recently secured $42 million Series B funding round, are enabling Hived to compete directly with traditional delivery giants.
Murvah Iqbal, CEO and co-founder of Hived, summed up the impact: “We have big ambitions for nationwide coverage, and this step outside of London will mean people across these new cities will enjoy the same high delivery standards that have driven Hived's growth in the capital.”
At ZeroMission, we see this as a major validation of the electric-first logistics model. It reflects a wider industry shift toward sustainable, intelligent fleet management, especially for last-mile operations. As more logistics providers rethink their fleets, data-driven tools like ZeroMission’s exō platform will be essential for managing vehicle performance, route optimisation, emissions reporting and infrastructure scaling.
Hived’s expansion is not just a win for emissions reduction, it’s a blueprint for how logistics companies can evolve, deliver value and meet consumer and regulatory expectations in an increasingly climate-conscious economy.
We applaud Hived’s leadership and look forward to helping more fleets across the UK and Europe follow this electric road map.
