At an event in Toronto, FedEx Express Canada formally added 50 all-electric delivery vehicles from BrightDrop.
At the 2022 Fleet Forward Conference, Bill Cawein of FedEx Express will dive into the company’s global plans to decarbonize and share learnings from the rollout of the first 150 BrightDrop electric delivery vehicles.
One year in to GM's last-mile delivery company, and orders for EV vans are increasing as Walmart reserves thousands of vehicles and FedEx ups its existing order.
Hornyak discusses the company’s production timelines, the decision to produce a high-range EV first, and the transition from a vehicle manufacturer to a holistic platform and a services network that optimizes the last mile.
The EV410, a mid-size electric light commercial vehicle designed for the delivery of goods and services, has a GVWR of fewer than 10,000 lbs. and estimated range of up to 250 miles.
Steve Hornyak, chief revenue officer of BrightDrop, will deliver the closing keynote, capping a schedule that includes 18 seminars, nine networking opportunities, and Innovation in Motion, a vehicle ride-and-drive and technology demo showcase.
To hit this production milestone, BrightDrop is partnering with a U.S. supplier partner for initial low-volume production while the conversion of GM’s CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Canada, is completed.
The new EV410 is a mid-size eLCV designed for smaller, more frequent trips. Verizon is its first customer.
With BrightDrop, GM is creating a new business to develop the commercial electric vehicle ecosystem. This includes a new electric delivery vehicle and support for infrastructure, logistics, and service planning — as well as an entirely new sales and service network.
