FedEx has announced a partnership with FUSO to introduce 12 electric trucks into its ground transportation fleet in Taiwan. This move makes FedEx the first international logistics company in Taiwan to incorporate electric delivery vehicles. The initial batch of six electric trucks is already operational, featuring high endurance and strong torque for urban delivery needs.
According to evaluations by FUSO, these new electric trucks significantly reduce energy costs compared to traditional diesel trucks. Designed specifically for urban delivery in Taiwan, they offer improved maneuverability and can travel up to 200 kilometers on a single charge with three battery packs. The regenerative braking technology enhances delivery efficiency by reducing downtime required for charging. The responsive acceleration and start-up performance allow the vehicles to adapt flexibly to the variable traffic conditions in Taiwanese cities, further enhancing delivery operations.
Su Chih-Min, Managing Director of FedEx Taiwan, stated: "FedEx is moving towards achieving carbon-neutral global operations by 2040, and electrifying our fleet is one of the key pathways to achieving this goal. Introducing electric delivery trucks not only demonstrates our firm commitment to environmental sustainability but also brings tangible benefits in terms of energy costs and operational efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Taiwan's logistics industry."
