Asda has announced it will more than double its electric grocery home shopping fleet, taking its fleet to 194 vehicles as the retailer continues to invest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its business. Rolling out this month, Asda will invest £1.3m into launching an additional 112 home delivery vans and charging points for its vans at stores across the UK. By September, 21 Asda stores across the UK will operate a fully electric home delivery van fleet. Across these 21 stores, the electric vehicles are expected to make over 1 million deliveries in the year to go. With a range of up to 130 miles, the electric vehicles will help to save up to 1700kg of CO2 emissions per year. Emma Newton, Senior Director – ecommerce last mile for Asda, said: “We’re always looking at how we can better serve our customers and for new ways to reduce our carbon emissions as a business, so we’re delighted to be more than doubling our electric fleet of grocery home shopping vehicles.” Asda first rolled out electric delivery fleets at its stores in Gillingham Pier, Old Kent Road and Sheffield Chaucer in 2023. In 2024, Asda invested in two new Bio-LNG (liquefied natural gas) refuelling facilities, as the retailer continues to make progress towards reducing overall carbon emissions. With over 780 vehicles, Asda operates the largest fleet of LNG fuelled trucks in the UK, with this type of fuel a leading, lower carbon alternative to diesel.

Customers are already seeing the difference in their pockets and noticing the improvements when they visit our stores, but we know there is more to do.
As we prepare for hashtag#Pride2025, we're delighted to be continuing our support of the charity Diversity Role Models 💚 A percentage of the sales from our George at Asda Pride range will continue to support their important educational workshops in schools. We’ve also brought back our popular colleague t-shirt design competition with our LGBTQ+ Inclusion Network, with colleagues voting for Hannah Goodall’s 'Love for All' design as our winner! Hannah’s design is available to buy online now as part of the new George Pride range and will also be available in-store. Congratulations Hannah!
🌟 As part of our 60th birthday, we're celebrating colleagues who continue to play a key role in shaping the Asda we know and love today... 🌟 As our longest-serving colleague, Barbara is a true legend in every sense of the word! Barbara has been part of the Asda family since August 1972, working at our oldest existing store in Billingham. Her dedication, warmth, and unwavering commitment over the decades has left an incredible mark on our team and community. 💚 We sat down with Barbara to get her thoughts on what she loves about Asda, and how the business has changed during her time at Billingham. hashtag#ProudToBeAsda hashtag#ColleagueSpotlight hashtag#LongService hashtag#TeamAsda
A clean sweep this week as Asda picks up Store of the Week and the cheapest basket in The Grocer 33! 🎉 A big congratulations to Tracey Peddie and the team at our Sheerwater store in Woking, who topped The Grocer 33 for service. The store was praised for being well-stocked, offering plenty of promotions, and for the helpful colleagues who made the mystery shopper's experience even better. Alongside the win for service, we’ve also just secured our 19th Grocer 33 price comparison win of the year, demonstrating how Rollback is delivering outstanding value to our customers! As Tracey shared: “I was chuffed to bits when Rollback came back. It’s that uniqueness that Asda is known for. Rollback has brought identity back to the stores, turned them green, and customers understand what the message is.” 💚 You can read more about both wins below 👇 https://lnkd.in/e3A5WVEi https://lnkd.in/ewQURzT6 📸 (Credit: The Grocer/Andy Barnard)
