Amazon has already reached a fleet of 15,000 electric vans already on the roadelectric vans built by Rivian. Amazon is aiming for even faster growth than expected: the original goal was 100,000 units by 2040, but now that goal has been overturned as the company has managed to move the goal up by 10 years, bringing the 100,000 milestone to 2030.
To be fair, By 2030, Amazon will employ more than 100,000 electric vans. As we well know, these will be added to the already existing electric trucks in circulation (to learn more, we talked about them here), such as: those of Volvo, whose fleet is also owned by Amazon.
