On Tuesday, Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) revealed the first of twelve Volvo electric big rigs it intends to operate this year, starting at Southern California’s bustling Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex.
The e-commerce giant is already using eight of these semi trucks at the port, where regulations require all drayage trucks to have zero emissions by 2035.
Amazon’s deployment marks its first venture into electric big rigs, expanding its vehicle electrification initiative from ocean ports to customer doorsteps. This move is crucial for Amazon’s goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, the New York Post reports.
