Amazon rolls out e-semi trucks: <\/strong>Amazon plans to deploy a dozen Volvo electric semi-trucks this year to pick up cargo from the US\u2019 busiest freight port in Los Angeles\/Long Beach, Reuters<\/a> reported earlier this week. Currently, only 1% of the 23,7k trucks serving the port complex are electric, Long Beach port spokesman Lee Peterson told the newswire.<\/p>\n

The challenge:<\/strong> The company is in the process of gathering information on the battery performance of the big rigs to determine how many will be required, Reuters write. The transition to electric semi trucks will be more challenging than deploying delivery vans due to the heavier load on EV batteries which will require more intensive charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The road to electrification<\/strong>: Amazon already has eight operational semi trucks at the Los Angeles port complex. Since 2022, the company has deployed over 13,5k electric cargo delivery vans. The transition to electric semi-trucks is in line with Amazon\u2019s target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
