FedEx received the first electric delivery vans from BrightDrop, a new electric logistics and delivery business out of General Motors. The vans are the first of 500 FedEx has ordered from the company..
The package-handling giant says its first five BrightDrop vans will start making deliveries soon. The vans are a key part of FedEx’s plan to convert its global delivery and pickup fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2040. It is building electric-vehicle chargers across its facilities to support battery-powered additions to its fleet.
The EV600, BrightDrop’s larger vehicle offering, promises a range of 250 miles, 600 cubic feet of cargo space, and the ability to recoup 170 miles of range each hour when plugged into a DC fast charger. It will be widely available to buy in 2022.
