Amazon unveils first electric seaport trucks amid push to slash tailpipe emissions
Amazon.com on Tuesday will unveil the first of a dozen Volvo electric big rigs it plans to deploy this year to pick up cargo from the nation's busiest container seaport in southern California. The e-commerce giant said it already has eight of those semi trucks in use at the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex, where every so-called drayage truck must be zero-emissions by 2035. The deployment is a first for Amazon, extending its vehicle electrification projects across its land-based logistics network that stretches from ocean ports to customer doorsteps.

EV startup Rivian hires Volvo veteran Varela as operations chief
Volvo said earlier this week that Varela would leave the Swedish truck maker after an eight-year stint that saw him rise to the role of deputy CEO and COO in 2022. He will join Rivian in August, replacing Frank Klein who had been operations head since 2022 and is stepping down after helping with the ramp-up of the R1 SUVs and pickups. "Varela will be central to the company's growth and profitability," Rivian said.
