Amazon is considering the switch to electric delivery trucks in Saudi Arabia

Amazon explores the use of EV delivery trucks in KSA: Amazon is considering using electric trucks for order deliveries in the Saudi market over the next seven years as part of a global transition plan, Al-Arabiya Business reports, citing a source with knowledge of the matter. The transition would be made through the American electric vehicle company Rivian.

Not the first time Amazon and Rivian work together: The retail giant plans to roll out 300 Rivian trucks in Munich, Berlin, and Dusseldorf over the next few years. This is part of Amazon’s plan to invest EUR 1 bn in electrifying its transportation network in Europe.
