Our take

Parcel delivery currently relies on fossil-fuel powered vans for the most part — and they pollute the air we breathe, emit large amounts of CO₂ and congest our cities. At the same time, customer service is notoriously poor, unethical business practices are rampant, and the technology is outdated. HIVED offers an alternative: 100% emission-free parcel delivery.

The company's technology is so efficient, it can match – or sometimes even be cheaper – than the current high-emission carriers. HIVED fundamentally sets itself apart from larger competitors by ensuring deliveries are 100% emission free, which will be a significant advantage for it as the UK is witnessing a green economic boom in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The industry's expansion is expected to grow by $141.05 bn globally by 2025, which will undoubtedly be underpinned by a push towards sustainability. HIVED is well positioned to capitalise on this, particularly if it can maintain its current high standards and further strategic investment of funds.
