Amazon Delivers in Tulsa with Electric Vehicles
20 Apr 2021
news
here’s a new vehicle delivering smiles to Amazon customers in Tulsa, and it’s electric! Just one year after announcing the purchase of 100,000 custom electric delivery vehicles as part of The Climate Pledge, Amazon has begun testing these new vans on delivery routes in and around Tulsa.
Designed and built in partnership with Rivian, Amazon’s first custom electric delivery vehicle was unveiled in October last year. The van is a first-of-its-kind all-electric delivery vehicle which can drive up to 150 miles on a single charge and is optimized for safety and an enhanced driver experience.
Tulsa is one of only 16 locations where Amazon will be using electric vehicles for customer deliveries.
