Amazon’s EV truck deployment at the San Pedro Bay ports expands its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint as California prepares to require fleets to shift to zero-emissions vehicles in the coming years.
The trucks will join the 35 heavy-duty electric trucks Amazon has already deployed in the state, according to the announcement.
The online retail giant has hundreds of last-mile electric vans already delivering packages across the state, and it is taking steps to reduce air pollution elsewhere in its supply chains.
