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 saw E.ON achieve 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’s mission is to transform the way the world moves goods by providing transportation infrastructure to improve the sorting, loading and last-mile delivery of heavy goods and road freight. Product is transported in aerodynamically-designed pods (box trailers) pulled by electric SUVs, eliminating the need for traditional ICE vans and trucks and providing a seamless, emission-free delivery process. Each electric SUV can cover over three hundred miles on a single charge and can be fully charged in just 20 minutes, ensuring rapid turnaround times.
Replace 3.5 and 7-tonne trucks
The low-profile pods are designed to facilitate easy roll-in and roll-out of cargo without the need for forklifts, minimising the risk of product damage and accelerating the loading and unloading process. Future plans include implementing a ‘drop-and-swap’ network for longer distances, enabling the transfer of loaded pods between vehicles. This will reduce the number of loading and unloading cycles required, further reducing handling risks, shortening lead times and improving overall delivery efficiency and quality.
Max Glaisher, CEO and Co-Founder of POSTX, comments: “Every year, around five million delivery trucks clog UK roads—many running far below capacity and spending unnecessary time in transit due to outdated routing methods.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 game-changing solution: fewer trucks, smarter routes, and better use of existing assets. Our mission is to replace all 3.5T to 7.5T trucks currently on UK roads with pods pulled by electric vehicles, significantly reducing emissions and transforming delivery operations.”
Start in the South Central and South East regions of the UK
POSTX deliveries are already available to Segen customers in the South Central and South East regions of the UK and will be expanded to other regions throughout 2025. The POSTX platform allows deliveries to be tracked in real-time, with timed two-hour delivery slots to be introduced later this year. Additionally, the service will be expanded to include waste collections post-install as well as a trailer drop solution, which is currently in the final stages of development.
New distribution partnership for storage solutions in UK and Ireland
Commenting on the success of the trial last year and E.ON’s decision to use Segen and POSTX as its preferred delivery method, Steven Cotterill, Global Category Manager at E.On, says: "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 terms of reducing carbon emissions, but it also improved delivery efficiency and removed key friction points for our customers.”
