FedEx to Launch All-Electric Delivery Trucks

FedEx Corp. said Monday it will launch the first all-electric parcel delivery trucks in the United States when it rolls out four vehicles in June.

Two of the trucks will come from Navistar International Corp., FedEx said. These trucks are based on the Modec design that FedEx currently operates in Europe.

FedEx did not name the manufacturer of the other trucks.

All four of the electric trucks will serve the Los Angeles area, FedEx said. The vehicles will be designed with a range that will allow couriers to use them for full 8-hour shifts.

FedEx Corp. is ranked No. 2 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
