FedEx and Nissan partner on electric cargo van pilot

FedEx has partnered with Nissan to create an electric cargo van pilot program.

Nissan's e-NV200 electric van, configured as a panel van, is being tested for use in package delivery. The model is a commercial van, an electric version of the NV200 rigged with electric drive train technology borrowed from the Nissan Leaf.

Nissan and FedEx have been working on the e-NV200 since December 2011 in real world operations. FedEx currently has 130 electric delivery vehicles in use globally.
