Packfleet is a fully electric UK-based parcel courier, primarily operating in London and within the M25.[1] Packfleet was founded in 2021 by three former Monzo employees and has raised £9m of investment from Tom Blomfield, General Catalyst, Entree Capital and Creandum, among others.[2][3]
Packfleet looks to compete with traditional parcel couriers like DPD and Evri by offering an all-electric delivery service built on a new technology platform.[4][5][6][7] Packfleet now operates over 50 electric vans for deliveries and works with over 130 retailers.[8][9] They plan to expand outside London in 2023 according to the CEO.[1][10]
