BENTONVILLE - US retail giant Walmart has announced it is to purchase 4,500 new Canoo electric vehicles for 'last mile deliveries' to reduce the climate impact of its rapidly growing ecommerce business.
The company has signed a definitive agreement with the high-tech mobility specialist to purchase the Canoo Lifestyle Delivery Vehicles (LDV), ahead of their release, with an option to buy up to 10,000 in total.
Walmart will be the first company to take delivery of the new all-electric vehicles and anticipates it will be using them to deliver online orders next year as part of its goal to achieve zero-emissions by 2040.
