Amazon turning its delivery van fleet to electric vehicles will significantly help the company meet its target of hitting net zero carbon emissions by 2040.“Today represents an important step, not just for Amazon and Rivian as partners, but also for transportation and the environment,” said RJ Scaringe, CEO of Rivian. “In 2019, Rivian and Amazon committed to fast-tracking a new type of delivery vehicle that would result in a significant reduction of carbon emissions.
“Fighting the effects of climate change requires constant innovation and action, and Amazon is partnering with companies who share our passion for inventing new ways to minimize our impact on the environment. Rivian has been an excellent partner in that mission, and we’re excited to see our first custom electric delivery vehicles on the road,” said Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon.
Amazon will have multiple partners in the electric vehicle space, according to Udit Madan, Vice President of Amazon’s Last Mile.
