As many traditional product markets shift from hardware to services, General Motors has introduced its plan to cater to delivery companies like FedEx with a new subsidiary that provides a combination of both vehicles and the services to manage them.
Anchoring this business is the EV600 electric delivery van and EP1 electrically motorized shipping pallet, which are coordinated by Brightdrop’s management and tracking application.
The planning that Brightdrop makes possible, along with the automation of the movement of shipments and the use of GM’s Ultium battery pack to power it all promises to provide delivery services with improved speed and efficiency while reducing the resulting carbon emissions from the process.
