FedEx adds electric box vans to last-mile delivery fleet 

Logistics and delivery giant FedEx is deploying 17 new electric box trucks in a move that advanced the company’s global electrification plans and Japan’s national climate targets, which focus on densely populated urban areas. FedEx’ new electric delivery fleet features a mix of Mitsubishi Fuso eCanter and Isuzu ELF medium duty trucks, each with a payload capacity of about 1.5 metric tonnes (~3300 lbs.).
