The electric delivery trucks of Amazon, which the e-commerce giant developed in partnership with Rivian, are now becoming regular sights in various regions of the US. The corporation is now incorporating fifty Class 8 EVs into its haulage fleet in Southern California.
The Volvo VNR Electric trucks by Amazon will transport both cargo containers and customer package loads in Amazon’s first- and middle-mile operations. They have already begun operating at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, with around twelve of them projected to be in operation by the year’s end.
Featuring a range of up to 275 miles, the Volvo VNR Electric has a gross combined vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 82,000 pounds. Notable safety features include active collision mitigation, blind spot detection, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
