XPO Deploying EV Trucks In California
XPO intends to roll out its electric-powered straight trucks in San Pedro Bay starting in April.
These trucks have already been acquired from the manufacturer and will be equipped with trailers manufactured in-house by XPO at its facility in Arkansas.
XPO is taking a strategic leap towards electrification by focusing on lighter-duty box trucks for city deliveries in California. This choice capitalizes on the maneuverability and efficiency of these vehicles, making them ideal for navigating tight urban spaces and handling the stop-and-go nature of city traffic.
By electrifying its city delivery fleet, XPO aims to optimize operations while promoting environmental sustainability in urban areas. Details regarding the number of trucks or their specific make and model were not disclosed.
