With at least two dozen manufacturers ready to serve the commercial vehicle market with electric trucks and chassis, fleets will soon be making tough decisions they never had to with ICE vehicles.
GM details its plans for an all-electric future with a number of actions and targets through financial commitments aimed at the EV transition, charging infrastructure, new plants, and its BrightDrop business.
A BrightDrop driver, in collaboration with FedEx, sets a Guinness World Records title for greatest distance traveled by an electric van on a single charge.
One year in to GM's last-mile delivery company, and orders for EV vans are increasing as Walmart reserves thousands of vehicles and FedEx ups its existing order.
FedEx received its first all-electric, zero-emissions delivery vehicles from BrightDrop, signaling a major milestone in electrified last-mile deliveries.
GM subsidiary BrightDrop opens its first dealership in Fontana, California, bringing electric vehicles to commercial fleet operators.
Hornyak discusses the company’s production timelines, the decision to produce a high-range EV first, and the transition from a vehicle manufacturer to a holistic platform and a services network that optimizes the last mile.
The EV410, a mid-size electric light commercial vehicle designed for the delivery of goods and services, has a GVWR of fewer than 10,000 lbs. and estimated range of up to 250 miles.
To hit this production milestone, BrightDrop is partnering with a U.S. supplier partner for initial low-volume production while the conversion of GM’s CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Canada, is completed.
The new EV410 is a mid-size eLCV designed for smaller, more frequent trips. Verizon is its first customer.
