Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has introduced its first electric vehicles into its Colombian fleet as part of a broader strategy to transition to a 100% zero-emission pickup and delivery vehicle fleet worldwide by 2040. The new additions are Ford E-Transit vans, which can travel an estimated 300 kilometers per full charge. These vehicles offer instant torque of 430 Nm and come equipped with pre-collision assistance and a 360-degree camera, aiming to enhance sustainability without sacrificing operational efficiency or safety.
Eduardo Garrido, senior manager of ramp operations and customs for FedEx in Colombia, stated, "In Colombia we are taking concrete steps towards smarter and more sustainable logistics. The incorporation of the Ford E-Transit into our fleet reflects a vision that combines technology, operational efficiency, and environmental commitment. Our goal is to offer solutions that add value to small and medium-sized enterprises in the development of their e-commerce while caring for the environment we share."
Jose Llanos, director of Ford Colombia, commented, "We are proud to be the strategic partner accompanying a global leader like FedEx in its transformation. This work materializes Ford Pro's promise to go beyond the vehicle to deliver productivity. The goal is for each e-Transit to be an always-connected tool, allowing up to a 40% reduction in operating costs. Thus, we help make FedEx's vision of sustainable logistics also the most profitable and efficient."
