When you hear of electric vehicles, you probably think of passenger cars, but did you know delivery trucks can run on batteries too?"It’s battery powered, so it doesn’t produce any emissions," says Crystal Rasa, Ikea Head of Fulfilment Sourcing.
"By us doing it, we’re also making it easier for other organizations, retailers and industries to take the same leap," Rasa says. "It really does mean, when that customer opens their front door to let in the delivery team, that it has come in the most sustainable possible way from the store." Four commercial electric vehicle-charging stations at the store recharged the vehicles. The federal government gave Ikea a $300,000 dollar grant to install chargers in Ontario and Quebec.
and in winter? do your research, they were not delivering in winter. hahahaa
The only problem with these trucks was putting them together with only an allan key
Are they charged with clean energy? How clean is the energy used to mine lithium for their batteries and how are the batteries recycled when expired?
Emission Free. Except how it relates to the manufacturing, delivering, upkeep, recharging, disposal, etc.
