Segen UK Announces Three-Year Exclusive Partnership with POSTX to Provide Zero-Emission Deliveries to Residential Installers

2nd April 2025 – Segen Ltd., the UK’s leading distributor of renewable energy technologies, has entered into a three-year exclusive partnership with POSTX, an AI-powered logistics and transportation solutions provider, to offer zero-emission deliveries to residential installers in the UK.

The announcement follows the success of an award-winning[1] three-month trial of the POSTX service with Segen customer E.ON last year. The trial saw E.ON achieve a 3.1-ton reduction in CO2 emissions and a 1,400% improvement in delivery efficiency driven by advanced routing and optimised loading processes. As a result, E.ON has selected Segen and POSTX as its preferred delivery service for residential customers.

Mike Eaton, Segen’s Warehouse and Logistics Operations Director for the UK & Ireland, comments: “Today’s announcement is another important milestone in Segen’s ongoing mission to improve sustainability and operational efficiency across our business. Last December, in partnership with our pallet-carrying partner, SW Group Logistics, we introduced a fleet of triple-deck trailers to reduce CO2 emissions during deliveries to our C&I customers. Now, through our collaboration with POSTX, we are also significantly improving the sustainability and efficiency of our delivery service for residential installers. The trial with E.ON delivered impressive results and proved the transformative potential of the POSTX service. We look forward to building on this success and extending these benefits to all qualifying Segen customers.”

POSTX’s mission is to transform the way the world moves goods by providing transportation infrastructure to improve the sorting, loading and last-mile delivery of heavy goods and road freight. Product is transported in aerodynamically-designed pods (box trailers) pulled by electric SUVs, eliminating the need for traditional ICE vans and trucks and providing a seamless, emission-free delivery process. Each electric SUV can cover over three hundred miles on a single charge and can be fully charged in just 20 minutes, ensuring rapid turnaround times.

The low-profile pods are designed to facilitate easy roll-in and roll-out of cargo without the need for forklifts, minimising the risk of product damage and accelerating the loading and unloading process. Future plans include implementing a ‘drop-and-swap’ network for longer distances, enabling the transfer of loaded pods between vehicles. This will reduce the number of loading and unloading cycles required, further reducing handling risks, shortening lead times and improving overall delivery efficiency and quality.

Max Glaisher, CEO and Co-Founder of POSTX, comments: “Every year, around five million delivery trucks clog UK roads—many running far below capacity and spending unnecessary time in transit due to outdated routing methods. These inefficiencies lead to excessive fuel consumption and increased emissions. POSTX offers a game-changing solution: fewer trucks, smarter routes, and better use of existing assets. Our mission is to replace all 3.5T to 7.5T trucks currently on UK roads with pods pulled by electric vehicles, significantly reducing emissions and transforming delivery operations.”

POSTX deliveries are already available to Segen customers in the South Central and South East regions of the UK and will be expanded to other regions throughout 2025. The POSTX platform allows deliveries to be tracked in real-time, with timed two-hour delivery slots to be introduced later this year. Additionally, the service will be expanded to include waste collections post-install as well as a trailer drop solution, which is currently in the final stages of development.

Commenting on the success of the trial last year and E.ON’s decision to use Segen and POSTX as its preferred delivery method, Steven Cotterill, Global Category Manager at E.On, says: "At E.ON, we are committed to achieving net-zero operations, with sustainable logistics being a crucial part of that journey. Last year’s pilot with Segen and POSTX not only exceeded our expectations in terms of reducing carbon emissions, but it also improved delivery efficiency and removed key friction points for our customers. This success has reinforced the integral role of Segen and POSTX in our delivery strategy, making them non-negotiable partners in our path forward.”
