Haypost puts new fleet into operation in Armenia 16 June 2014

HayPost CJSC is putting into operation 49 brand new trucks and vans for its new logistics system. These vehicles are ecologically friendly, running on natural gas, thereby reducing the emission of CO2 in to the atmosphere. They are also equipped with GPS tracking systems providing more secure and safe operation. These changes are intended to upgrade and improve the operations quality level up to the highest international standards.

The total investment for these 49 trucks and vans amounts to US$1.2 million.

New Renault Logan vans will replace the old vehicles used in the regions, some of which were produced in the Soviet period. New KIA trucks transporting deliveries from Yerevan to regions will cover 90,000 kilometres, the equivalent of driving along the Equator around the earth twice.

Renault Duster 4x4 vehicles will be used mainly in the regions, bringing deliveries in time to even the most isolated rural areas. Due to the high accessibility of KIA trucks and Renault Duster 4x4 vehicles it will be possible to deliver the items in time even to the inhabitants of mountain villages during the most snowy months of winter.

The new vehicles will contribute to the implementation of HayPost Trust Management programme to provide high level services throughout the whole territory of the Republic of Armenia.

As a result of cooperation with La Poste, the National postal operator of France, HayPost CJSC developed a new logistics system, ensuring a better control of items and delivery quality, corresponding to the highest international standards. Within the framework of the cooperation with La Poste, new centralised sorting centres were successfully tested and launched in Aragatsotn and Gegharkunik regions. A new sorting centre facility servicing Syunik and Vayots Dzor regions will be operational by September 2014.
