Announcement reposted from Amazon United States:
As we continue to work toward our goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, we constantly innovate to transform our operations and positively impact local communities. This includes investing in safe nuclear power for our data centers, building facilities with lower-carbon engineered wood, reducing packaging, and making the materials we use easier to recycle.
Our efforts also extend to deliveries, as we find lower-emission ways to get the packages to customers’ doorsteps. To that end, we’ve rolled out all sorts of electric vehicles in cities and countries around the globe.
We carefully select these makes and models to meet the specific needs of different regions and routes across our operations, but their mission is the same: transporting everything from vacuum cleaners to shampoo through our fulfillment network and finally, to customers. With zero tailpipe emissions, these vehicles can help create cleaner air and reduce noise.
