PostNL prepares for a surge in parcel deliveries ahead of Singles’ Day, Black Friday, Sinterklaas, and Christmas. The company anticipates handling up to **1.7 million parcels daily** on peak days, up from the usual **1.2 million**. To manage the increased volume, PostNL is adding **extra staff, delivery vehicles, and routes** to ensure on-time mail and package fulfillment.
PostNL projects Out-of-Home parcel delivery in the Netherlands will rise from **13% to ~40%** of all shipments by 2031. The shift reflects consumer demand for flexible pickup, return, and delivery locations. The company is consolidating its Out-of-Home services—including checkout options and digital customer journeys—into a unified offering to meet this trend.
PostNL reports **€768 million in revenue for Q3 2026**, up from €762 million in the same period last year. The update highlights continued financial performance in logistics and parcel services. The company’s results reflect steady growth in its core operations amid evolving market demands.
PostNL adds six Mercedes-Benz eActros trucks to its heavy-duty fleet, increasing its electric truck count from one to seven. The new vehicles operate on long-haul routes across the Netherlands and Belgium, running twice daily with fully loaded trailers. Each truck will cover approximately **150,000 kilometers annually**, reinforcing the company’s shift toward electrification in freight operations.
