The announcement follows the success of an award-winning three-month trial of the POSTX service with Segen customer E.ON last year. The trial resulted in a 3.1-ton reduction in CO₂ emissions and a 1,400% improvement in delivery efficiency, driven by advanced routing and optimised loading processes. As a result, E.ON has selected Segen and POSTX as its preferred delivery service for residential customers.
Segen UK: Triple deck trailer for CO2- and cost efficient transport of PV modules
POSTX aims to transform goods transport by providing infrastructure that improves the sorting, loading and last-mile delivery of heavy goods and road freight. Products are moved in aerodynamically-designed pods pulled by electric SUVs, removing the need for traditional ICE vans and trucks and enabling a seamless, emission-free delivery process. Each electric SUV has a range of over 300 miles per charge and can be fully recharged in 20 minutes, ensuring fast turnaround times.
Replacing 3.5–7.5 t trucks
The low-profile pods are designed to enable easy roll-in and roll-out of cargo without forklifts, minimising the risk of product damage and accelerating loading and unloading. A planned ‘drop-and-swap’ network will support longer distances by allowing loaded pods to be transferred between vehicles. This will reduce handling cycles, shorten lead times and improve overall delivery efficiency and quality.
Max Glaisher, CEO and Co-Founder of POSTX: “Every year, around five million delivery trucks clog UK roads, with many running far below capacity and spending unnecessary time in transit due to outdated routing methods. These inefficiencies lead to excessive fuel consumption and increased emissions. POSTX offers a solution: fewer trucks, smarter routes, and better use of existing assets. Our mission is to replace all 3.5-tonne to 7.5-tonne trucks currently on UK roads with pods pulled by electric vehicles, significantly reducing emissions and transforming delivery operations.”
Launch in South Central and South East UK
POSTX deliveries are already available to Segen customers in the South Central and South East regions of the UK, with rollout to additional regions planned throughout 2025. The POSTX platform enables real-time tracking, and timed two-hour delivery slots will be introduced later this year. The service will also expand to include post-installation waste collection and a trailer drop solution, which is currently in final development.
New distribution partnership for storage solutions in UK and Ireland
Commenting on the success of last year’s trial and E.ON’s decision to adopt Segen and POSTX as its preferred delivery method, Steven Cotterill, Global Category Manager at E.ON, said: “At E.ON, we are committed to achieving net-zero operations, with sustainable logistics being a crucial part of that journey. Last year’s pilot with Segen and POSTX not only exceeded our expectations in reducing carbon emissions, but also improved delivery efficiency and removed key friction points for our customers.”
