Royal Mail is trialling nine British-made fully electric commercial vehicles this month, transporting packages between mail and distribution centres in the capital.
The firm hopes that the trial will increase Royal Mail's efficiency, and reduce vehicle emissions.
While the trucks will have human drivers, they are 'autonomous-ready', which suggests that Royal Mail deliveries could one day be made by driverless vehicles.
However, Royal Mail says it has 'no current plans' to roll out the technology.
