FedEx’s first all-electric delivery trucks to serve the U.S. market will start making their rounds in the Los Angeles area in June.
FedEx is buying four trucks from two manufacturers, Navistar and Modec, to evaluate performance under demanding everyday conditions. Two more electric trucks from a third manufacturer are due later in the year.
The Navistar model was due to be shown off in Chicago today and sent on a “Charge Up Route 66” tour ending in Los Angeles.
FedEx, which pioneered the use of hybrid-electric pickup and delivery vehicles and already has electric vehicles serving London, will have 1,869 alternative energy vehicles in its fleet by the end of June.
