Bollore Logistics Australia took delivery of its first Hybrid Electric Vehicle in July 2022, a significant milestone in its journey of providing sustainable solutions in the Pacific region. The HEV was delivered in Melbourne and will be used to complete last mile deliveries for Louis Vuitton in Australia.

Both companies have a shared commitment to sustainability, and this is one of the many joint initiatives that we are focusing on to achieve and exceed our sustainability targets.”
