Domino's is rolling out a fleet of 800 custom-braded 2023 Chevy Bolt electric vehicles for delivery. The brand is starting out with 100 vehicles arriving at select franchise and corporate stores in the U.S. this month, with an additional 700 in coming months, according to a press release.

"Domino's launched pizza delivery in 1960 with a Volkswagen Beetle, rolled out the DXP — a custom-built pizza delivery vehicle — in 2015, tested autonomous pizza delivery with cars and robots and is now leading the charge in the future of pizza delivery," Russell Weiner, Domino's chief executive officer, said in the press release. "Domino's has always been on the cutting edge of pizza delivery and electric delivery cars make sense as vehicle technology continues to evolve. We've made a commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and this is one way we can begin reducing our environmental impact, one delivery at a time."

The vehicles have a long battery life, zero tailpipe emissions, advanced safety features and lower average maintenance costs than nonelectric vehicles — all without the financial impact of high gas prices.

The Domino's already delivers with electric bikes and schools in 24 international markets including the U.S.

"We're excited that Domino's has chosen the Chevrolet Bolt EV to build their electric pizza delivery fleet in the U.S.," Ed Peper, vice president of GM Fleet, said in the press release. "Both companies are committed to bettering our environment. GM plans to eliminate tailpipe emissions from new U.S. light duty vehicles by 2035. With an affordable price, fun driving characteristics, and a 259-mile range, the Chevy Bolt EV is the future of Domino's electrified deliveries."

Domino's operate more than 19,500 stores in more than 90 markets.
