BrightDrop, a subsidiary of General Motors Co. in Detroit, has delivered its latest run of Zevo 600 electric vans to four Ryder facilities in California, Texas, and New York.
Earlier this year, Ryder, a transportation and logistics company known for its fleet of commercial rental trucks, announced plans to add 4,000 BrightDrop EVs to its fleet through 2025, with the first 200 ordered this year.
“Electrifying commercial fleets can reduce operating emissions without sacrificing range, safety or performance,” says Steve Hornyak, chief commercial officer for BrightDrop. “By adding BrightDrop EVs to its fleet offerings, Ryder is helping make electrification possible for companies big and small.”
Tom Havens, president of fleet management solutions of Ryder, says the company works to identify and test advanced and emerging vehicle technology. “Through our partnerships with technology providers and equipment manufacturers, Ryder can offer commercial fleet management solutions that drive sustainability and operational goals for our customers,” he says.
