bp pulse taps DHL supply chain for warehousing and transport contract

Long-term contract will see the transportation company support the rollout of the brand’s EV charging network in the UK.

DHL Supply Chain has been appointed by the e-mobility brand bp pulse in a new warehousing and transport contract.

Through the new deal, DHL will be responsible for storing electric vehicle (EV) chargers and ancillary equipment. This includes critical parts, substations, wiring and cabling at its Ryton warehouse which will act as a national logistics center for bp pulse.

Equipment will be despatched from Ryton and delivered to locations across the country, with a secondary site in Belfast servicing Northern Ireland. By consolidating EV assets across these two sites, DHL will support bp pulse in streamlining its operation for greater efficiency.

“bp pulse is delivering charging infrastructure at pace, and our specialist logistics service and the scale of our network gives us both the expertise and capacity to support its EV network roll-out. With first-rate training, safety protocols and digital systems in place, we are committed to delivering an effective and reliable service to bp pulse, to optimize its operation,” said Paul Mason, Vice President Operations, Manufacturing Logistics, DHL Supply Chain UKI.

Leveraging digital solutions including telematics, DHL will provide real-time tracking and monitoring of deliveries, while coordinating with relevant parties such as electrical suppliers, councils and franchises to ensure smooth and efficient charger installations.

As one of the leading rapid and ultra-fast public EV charging networks in the UK, bp pulse aims to grow its network of public EV charging points by 2030 to over 100,000 worldwide.
