Canoo

Canoo has been developing a multi-purpose EV platform. Its first vehicle is called Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle. US-based EV start-up is aiming to build electric vehicle both spacious and performance-oriented. Lifestyle Vehicle model can offer up to 350 HP/257 kW, and also carry more than 1,464 lbs (664 kg) of payload. Canoo&#8217;s first EV is coming to market later in the 2023. 
American EV-maker Canoo will also deliver 4,500 last mile delivery vans to retail giant Walmart, announced in July 2022. Walmart has an option to increase its EV order from 4,500 vans to 10,000, if the deliveries went through smoothly.

HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

Rivian

The electric delivery van fleet of Amazon is growing day by day and its size is exceeded 1,000 electric vans. The retail giant has made more than 5 million deliveries in the US with Rivian-made zero-emission vans since earlier this year.
Amazon has overall 30,000 delivery vans and 20,000 trailers in its total fleet, but the number of electric delivery vans is increasing among them, and Rivian will deliver up to 100,000 vans to Amazon. Rivian-made EDVs are started operating in many cities across the US since July.
As the number of EDVs is increasing in Amazon’s fleet, Rivian has accelerated its production of them. The EV company declared that over 7,300 <a href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1t">R1T pickup trucks</a>, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/rivian-r1s">R1S SUVs</a> and EDVs are manufactured between July and September. In the same period, the company delivered 6,584 vehicles.
<h2>100,000 Electric Delivery Vans will be on the roads by 2030</h2>

The goal of Amazon and Rivian to create an electrified delivery fleet has been obstructed by supply chain problems and inflation. When the deal between the two companies was first announced in 2019, 100,000 vans aimed to be on the roads by 2024.  However, now, Amazon changed its projection to 2030. The EV startup Rivian has also <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/rivian-86-billion-valuation-biggest-ipo">struggled with</a> mass production last year, as delivery-ready vehicles may show severe production-related issues.
The vice president of Amazon Transportation, Udit Madan, said, “We’re always excited for the holiday season, but making deliveries to customers across the country with our new zero-emission vehicles for the first time makes this year unique”. He also stated that over 5 million packages have been delivered with Rivian’s EDVs so far and as the number of EDVs is going up to 100,000, the delivery numbers will grow exponentially.

Model.X Delivery Vans From Indian EVage

The US Postal Service (USPS) has initially ordered 50,000 units of the Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDV) from the Oshkosh Defense Company as a part of a $2.98-billion deal.
USPS <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/usps-electrify-its-fleet-5000-ev">previously announced</a> that 10% of the first NGDVs will be electric but the latest statement from the company is that the share of the battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the initial order will be doubled.
The Us Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as a federal agency, has criticized the USPS and its 10-year contract with Oshkosh Defense and accused them of not being bold enough in terms of electrification.
Even though the agency has doubled the number of BEVs in its future NGDV fleet, they admitted that more BEVs would deliver greater emission benefits. The USPS stated that the contract with Oshkosh is flexible and will allow increasing the number of BEVs as financial resources become available.
The Postmaster General and USPS CEO Louis DeJoy elaborate on the agency’s strategy for the electrification:
&#8220;Since I came on board a year and a half ago, we have continuously evaluated and adjusted our vehicle purchase strategy based on our future network initiatives, ongoing review of BEV application to our operational strategy, and our financial outlook as we undertake our ongoing implementation of the Delivering for America plan. Based upon this work and our improving outlook, we have determined that increasing our initial electric vehicle purchase from 5,000 to 10,019 makes good sense from an operational and financial perspective.&#8221;
<h2>The Agency Committed to the Electrification</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-8831" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/uspsxxhdqts-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/uspsxxhdqts-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/uspsxxhdqts-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/uspsxxhdqts-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/uspsxxhdqts.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
DeJoy also stated that the order and the contract with Oshkosh Defense demonstrate the agency’s commitment to inclusion of the electric vehicles into its fleet. Despite the electrification seems costly for now, the agency claims that it will continue its plan to electrify while being prudent fiscally.
USPS currently has 190.000 Long-Life Delivery Vehicles (LLV) on the road. Most of them are over 30 years old and don’t have safety features that are essential in most vehicles today. The NGDVs, unlike LLVs, will have feature air conditioning, improved ergonomics, increased cargo capacity, and more advanced vehicle and safety technology. Safety tech includes 360-degree cameras, advanced braking and traction control, airbags, a front-and rear-collision avoidance system that includes visual, audio warning, and automatic braking.
The NGDV’s design was displayed during CES 2022 and there will be four versions of new vans: two internal combustion engine types and two battery electric vehicle options, one of which will be two-wheel drive and one with four-wheel drive capability. The BEV version will have a range of 70 miles. The plan is to begin to send the new vans to U.S. destinations at the end of 2023.

USPS doubled the EVs in its Future Fleet

Ford

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced its electrification plans on Sunday, February 6. The USPS will order 5,000 electric delivery vans as a starting point to electrify 70% of its fleet by 2030.
Postmaster General and USPS Chief Executive Officer Louis DeJoy declared that the Postal Service is willing to increase its electric vehicle orders, but further funding is necessary for the electrification effort of the service. The CEO intended to emphasize the financial hardship of the USPS to run an environment-friendly fleet.
DeJoy elaborated on the USPS’s current position in the delivery sector: “Moreover, comparisons of the Postal Service to private sector multi-national corporations that report yearly profits in the billions of dollars, and that are not required to go to 161 million delivery addresses in all climates and topographies six days per week, are not relevant in view of our perilous financial condition and universal service mission.”

The Postal Service has announced on February 23, 2021, that a new generation of U.S.-built postal delivery vehicles will be manufactured as per the 10-year contract with Oshkosh Defence. Almost a year ago, USPS declared that the new vans from Oshkosh would initiate the most important modernization of its fleets in thirty years.
Under this contract, Oshkosh would conclude the production design of the USPS’s Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV) with an initial investment of $482 million. The company would also assemble up to 165,000 NGDVs for the Postal Service.
The NGDV’s design was displayed during CES 2022 last month and there will be four versions of new vans: two internal combustion engine types and two battery electric vehicle options, one of which will be two-wheel drive and one with four-wheel drive capability. The BEV version will have a range of 70 miles. The plan is to begin to send the new vans to U.S. destinations at the end of 2023.

Members of the Biden administration sent letters to the USPS, advising it to reconsider its plan to buy gas-powered NGDVs. The Postal Service plans to buy a great number of ICE delivery vans and this plan will affect the government’s plan to make federal cars and trucks environmental-friendly because the fleet of the USPS constitutes a third of the government’s fleet.
The Postmaster General implied that if additional funding will not become available, the USPS will not be able to increase the electric vehicles in the fleet of USPS. &#8220;Absent such funding, we must make fiscally responsible decisions that result in the needed introduction of safer and environmentally cleaner vehicles for the men and women who deliver America’s mail.”
The Postal Service has worked closely with federal agencies to achieve its plan’s compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which encourages federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of their new plans. In the latest release, the USPS claims that its electrification plan fully met the requirements of the statute.
