Amazon is pushing hard to meet its pledge of becoming carbon neutral by 2040. In its latest effort, the company announced that will add Stellantis’ all-electric Ram ProMaster van to its fleet when the vehicle launches in 2023. Stellantis revealed in August 2021 that “due to customer demand” it would offer an electric Ram ProMaster van beginning in 2023. The electric van is part of the company’s $35.5 billion investment in electric vehicles and new software over the next four years in an effort to shift away from internal combustion engines. Amazon will be the first commercial customer of the upcoming all-electric van as part of a broader partnership announcement focused on software development and in-vehicle technology. These vans will be part of a larger fleet of electric vehicles which include an order of 100,000 electric trucks from Rivian.
