Walmart will use Canoo EVs for deliveries

US: According to Walmart’s stated goal of zero net emissions by 2040, the company has agreed to buy 4,500 electric vehicles from Canoo as part of the deal.

Prior to the opening bell on Tuesday (Jul. 12), Walmart said that it has an option to purchase up to 10,000 Canoos as it electrified its fleet of delivery vehicles.

The deal’s financial details were kept under wraps.

Retailer Walmart announced in June that it was expanding its transportation pilots with the manufacturers of EV, hydrogen, and natural gas-powered cars, including Cummins and Daimler Trucks’ Freightliner.

GM’s BrightDrop commercial EV unit reserved 5,000 electric delivery vans for the retailer in January.
