Van-tastic

Jersey Post’s mini electric vans make-over revealed!

In June, Jersey Post launched an island-wide search for artists and wordsmiths to help design and name the newest (and smallest) additions to their eco fleet.

Over 50 young artists aged 5-18 submitted some incredible bold and colourful pieces of art, with over 140 creative name suggestions sent in via social media on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, by islanders aged 16+.

Julie Thomas, Chief Operating Officer at Jersey Post says: “These mini electric vans are so cute and full of personality, you can even see a smile between their headlights. It was only right to give them fun designs and make them a little bit different to our other delivery vans.

“We wanted to get our community involved in creating the personalities of our mini vans, to celebrate the incredible creativity and imagination that we have here on the island. The standard of entries for both competitions was fantastic and it made judging the artwork and names very hard. Try spot one of these cute vans when you’re next in St Helier.”

Jersey Post is pleased to introduce their mini eco van family:
