This move includes the deployment of its first electric seaport trucks, part of Amazon's broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. The trucks, which cost approximately $500,000 each and have a range of 275 miles per charge, will be used to transport cargo from southern California seaports, aligning with the company's efforts to reduce tailpipe emissions and decarbonize its transportation network.
