Amazon is deploying 50 electric trucks as part of its first- and middle-mile operations in California. The company wants to be carbon neutral by 2040.
Amazon is deploying 50 battery-electric heavy-duty trucks in California, which it claims is the largest such fleet in the country. The company says the new trucks represent an important step in its mission to eliminate pollution from its global operations — even as its carbon emissions have spiked in recent years.
A dozen trucks are expected to be put into service before the end of the year. For middle-mile services, Amazon expects to deploy 35 electric trucks to ship goods between the fulfillment centers and a number of different locations, including sort centers, air facilities, and delivery centers. From there, the packages get picked up by Amazon’s delivery vans for their final journeys.
