FedEx has begun integrating electric trucks into its delivery fleet in Taiwan through a collaboration with FUSO, becoming the first international logistics company in the market to operate fully electric vehicles for ground delivery. The initiative supports FedEx’s long-term sustainability goals, including its target of achieving carbon-neutral operations globally by 2040.
As part of the partnership, FedEx has introduced 12 FUSO eCanter electric trucks, with six already deployed in major urban areas. The move follows earlier efforts to incorporate electric tricycles into last-mile logistics and represents a step toward scaling low-emission solutions in dense city environments.
“These trucks are designed for city use and contribute to a greener, more efficient delivery system,” said Paul Sousa, managing director of FedEx Taiwan. “Fleet electrification is a key part of our roadmap.”
The eCanter vehicles offer up to 200 kilometers of range and feature regenerative braking systems and strong torque, making them well suited for short-haul urban logistics. FedEx notes that operational evaluations have shown energy savings compared to conventional diesel trucks.
Jung Woo Park, CEO of Daimler Trucks Asia Taiwan, stated, “This truck offers performance and efficiency suited for complex urban needs.” He added that FUSO will provide after-sales and technical support to ensure smooth integration.
The rollout is part of a broader push across the logistics sector to adopt electric mobility, especially in Asia-Pacific cities facing air quality and congestion challenges. FedEx plans to monitor vehicle performance as it considers further expansion of its electric fleet in Taiwan and beyond.
