This holiday season, New Yorkers will observe the new and improved FedEx Express couriers rolling their modern four-wheel electric carts (e-carts) through city streets.
When we talk about the “last mile” in delivery, there’s a part of that last mile that we often leave out: the last few yards. The rest of the mile before that is usually trucks that come from a local depot of some kind to drop packages to customers, but that doesn’t mean the packages magically teleport from the truck into our offices and living rooms. It turns out that GM was able to not only help FedEx electrify that last mile, but also electrify and better manage that last few feet, too.
“We’re bringing entirely new ways of doing business to the delivery market by providing a holistic, one-stop-shop portfolio of first- to last-mile solutions that allow fleet customers to do their jobs more efficiently while helping alleviate strain on the workforce, and the environment,” said Rachad Youssef, chief product officer, BrightDrop at the time. “Part of that includes building a software platform that leverages data and simulation to demonstrate how new technologies can work for them.
Acquiring electric vehicles is not sufficient if one wishes to actually drive them; thus, FedEx has taken it upon themselves to install thousands of EV charging stations. In Southern California alone, it has already installed 500 such spots! This means that these newly acquired EVs can be put into motion instantly.
