Canadian logistics company Purolator says it will spend $1 billion over the next seven years electrifying its fleet and terminals.
The subsidiary of Canada Post says it will purchase more than 3,500 fully electric last-mile delivery vehicles, including some made in Canada, and the electrification of more than 60 terminals across the country.
The purchase will include trucks from U.S.-manufacturer Motiv Power Systems, Ford E-Transit van and the BrightDrop Zevo 600, built by General Motors in Ingersoll, Ont. The company in March will start deploying 25 Ford E-Transit vans in London, Ont.; Richmond, B.C.; and Quebec City. Fifty-five Motiv and 15 BrightDrop models, along with several low-speed vehicles and electric cargo bikes , will be added later this year.
