Amazon Places Massive Order for Gas-Fuel Trucks
Online retail giant Amazon is reported to have ordered about 700 Class 6 and Class 8 gas-fuel trucks to help reduce the environmental impact of its logistics operations.
Engines for the trucks will be supplied by Cummins. The vehicles will also use fuel systems delivered by Vancouver-based Westport Fuel Systems (WFS). An announcement covering the dissolution of a former joint-venture between the companies was announced on 7 February, where Cummins would become sole business owner.
