The introduction of BrightDrop's electric vans into the FedEx fleet in Canada is a step in the company's goal to transform its entire parcel pickup and delivery (PUD) fleet to all-electric, zero-tailpipe emissions vehicles.
Thirty-five years ago, Canadian consumers and businesses wanting to ship quickly and around the world had few options. That was until the original express logistics disruptor FedEx expanded into Canada, its first international market. Instantly, Canadians had the world at their doorsteps. Fast-forward to today, FedEx Express Canada, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX), is a critical component of the world's largest express transportation network, relied upon to connect the Canadian economy to over 220 countries and territories. FedEx has shipped millions of parcels across Canadian skies and roads with speed, reliability, and integrity, including some of the most memorable deliveries in Canadian logistics history.
