FedEx introduces zero-emission Nissan electric vehicles in Belgium
FedEx Express has introduced new zero-emission all-electric Nissan e-NV200 vehicles for pickups and deliveries in the areas of Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp.
Five years ahead of target, FedEx met its goal of increasing FedEx Express vehicle fuel efficiency by 30 percent from a 2005 baseline by 2020. The company believes it can achieve significant further savings and is currently working on a new vehicle sustainability goal.
The introduction of all-electric vehicles is one measure in the FedEx long-term approach to environmental issues. As of 2015, FedEx has 447 hybrid vehicles; 1,176 electric vehicles and 55 hydrogen-fueled vehicles globally.
