Amazon has officially unwrapped its all-electric delivery van 'packed with state-of-the-art technology.' The e-commerce giant is set to unleash 10,000 electric vans to make deliveries 'as early as 2022' and will have a total fleet of 100,000 by 2030. The latest announcement unveiled a more traditional delivery van, which the firm purchased through Rivian, a US automaker and automotive technology firm. Amazon currently operates hundreds of electric vehicles worldwide and has invested in electric vehicle charging stations for its partners to use, with plans to expand this infrastructure. The company announced that it is adding 1,800 electric delivery vehicles this year to its fleet in Europe and is also 10,000 more electric delivery vehicles to its fleet in India, operating in over 20 cities by 2025.
