Purolator, a package delivery company in Canada is investing nearly a billion dollars into BrightDrop. As part of the investment BrightDrop will be supplying them with BrightDrop Zevo 600 delivery vans.
Purolator, a freight, package and logistics solutions provider, recently announced that it intends to invest roughly $1 billion into electrifying its Canadian network of vehicles. As a part of this investment, the Canadian-based company will purchase several all-electric BrightDrop Zevo 600 delivery vans.
With a goal of reducing emissions by 42 percent by 2030, Purolator will add more than 100 EVs to its vehicle fleet this year, including 15 BrightDrop Zevo 600 vans. The all-electric delivery van was among the chosen vehicles based on market-leading technology, operational support, and filling Purolator’s unique transportation needs.
“Purolator was the first Canadian courier to launch fully electric curbside-delivery trucks nationally,” Purolator President and CEO John Ferguson was quoted as saying. “Our ambition is to be the greenest courier company in Canada, and with this investment, Purolator will take yet another important step toward a more sustainable future and healthier planet. We’ve set ambitious goals for ourselves and are working with our customers and partners every day to reduce our carbon footprint and protect our environment.”
