Ikea Canada is now making more delivery via electric truck than diesel-fueled units, the company announced.

In August, 72% of its big and bulky home deliveries were completed using electric vehicles, surpassing those made by trucks fueled by diesel, for the first time in the company’s history.

The milestone is a major step toward the company’s goal of achieving more than 90% of its home deliveries by zero-emission vehicles by 2028. Ikea credits its delivery service partners in helping it achieve the milestone.

“Our investments in EV charging infrastructure provide our delivery service partners with dedicated, reliable and safe access to power, ensuring they start each day fully charged and ready to deliver,” says Liz Wilson, head of customer fulfilment.

“Having more of our truck home deliveries fulfilled by EVs than diesel trucks in August 2025 is an incredible milestone in advancing Ikea Canada’s sustainability goals. This progress wouldn’t be possible without the strong collaboration with our delivery service partners, who share our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility. Most importantly, we’re proud that Ikea customers never have to pay a premium for zero emission deliveries, reflecting our dedication to making sustainable choices both accessible and affordable for the many.”

The company has invested $3.75 million to install EV chargers installed at all 17 home delivery fulfilment locations across Canada. It also notes this has been achieved without charging customers a premium for home delivery.
