A major Australian supermarket moves ahead with a next-generation delivery fleet after investing about $22 million in electric trucks, according to reporting from The West Australian and PerthNow. The outlets say the investment supports a rollout intended to change how groceries are delivered, with the expectation that deliveries will continue to occur quietly as the fleet is introduced. Both reports frame the initiative as a logistics and transport upgrade, funded through the company’s $22 million program for electric vehicles used in grocery distribution. While the coverage highlights the scale of the investment, it does not provide extensive detail on rollout timing, the number of trucks involved, or specific delivery routes. The two sources also do not indicate whether the company has disclosed broader operational targets such as emissions reductions, costs, or service changes. Overall, the reporting agrees that the supermarket is using its $22 million investment to expand and modernise its delivery operations using electric trucks, with practical implications for how and when groceries reach customers.
