Amazon Canada has deployed its first fleet of electric delivery vans, marking a major step toward its 2040 net-zero goal. Fifty custom-built Rivian vehicles are now operating across Greater Vancouver, based out of the company’s Delta delivery station. “It’s tremendously exciting to launch our first major decarbonization initiative,” said Eva Lorenz, VP and Country Manager at Amazon Canada.
The vans feature 360-degree visibility, adaptive cruise control, and real-time integration with Amazon’s logistics system. Partnering with local Delivery Service Partners, Amazon plans to deploy 100,000 Rivian EDVs globally by 2030, cutting millions of tons of carbon emissions.
