"Logistics and delivery giant FedEx is deploying 17 new electric box trucks in
a move that advanced the company’s global electrification plans and Japan’s
national climate targets, which focus on densely populated urban areas.
FedEx’ new electric delivery fleet features a mix of Mitsubishi Fuso eCanter
and Isuzu ELF medium duty trucks, each with a payload capacity of about 1.5
metric tonnes (~3300 lbs.). More than enough, in other words, to handle the
package pickup and last-mile delivery needs of the company’s Japanese
customers.
“Our business strategy focuses on delivering reliable service to customers, and
sustainability and efficiency are integral to how we operate. These new EVs
will reduce emissions on high-density urban routes while helping us maintain
the speed and quality our customers expect,” explains said Kei Alan Kubota,
Managing Director of FedEx Japan. “We will continue to accelerate the adoption
of low-emission technologies and contribute to cleaner air for local
communities.”
FedEx estimates that each electric truck will cut tailpipe emissions by roughly
3.3 metric tonnes per year compared with a diesel equivalent, based on the
distances driven on planned routes. That works out to some 62 US tons of
displaced carbon emissions across all 17 trucks."
