Amazon Advances Towards Zero-Emissions With New Electric Trucks
On Tuesday, Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) revealed the first of twelve Volvo electric big rigs it intends to operate this year, starting at Southern California's bustling Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex.
週二，亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）公佈了其計劃今年運營的十二臺沃爾沃電氣大型鑽機中的第一臺，從南加州繁華的洛杉磯/長灘港口綜合體開始。
The e-commerce giant is already using eight of these semi trucks at the port, where regulations require all drayage trucks to have zero emissions by 2035.
這家電子商務巨頭已經在港口使用了其中八輛這樣的半卡車，那裏的法規要求到2035年所有拖運卡車實現零排放。
Amazon's deployment marks its first venture into electric big rigs, expanding its vehicle electrification initiative from ocean ports to customer doorsteps. This move is crucial for Amazon's goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, the New York Post reports.
亞馬遜的部署標誌着其首次涉足電動大型鑽機領域，將其汽車電氣化計劃從海港擴展到客戶家門口。《紐約郵報》報道，此舉對於亞馬遜到2040年實現淨零碳排放的目標至關重要。

Only slightly more than 1% of the 23,761 trucks serving the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex are zero-emission vehicles, including 201 electric rigs, according to Long Beach port spokesperson Lee Peterson.

Since 2022, Amazon has deployed over 13,500 Rivian Automotive, Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) electric cargo delivery vans nationwide. The shift to electric semi trucks presents a more significant challenge due to their heavier loads and the more demanding charging infrastructure their batteries require, Reuters reports.
自2022年以來，亞馬遜已在全國部署了超過13,500輛Rivian Automotive, Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：RIVN）電動貨運車。路透社報道，向電動半掛卡車的轉變帶來了更爲嚴峻的挑戰，因爲它們的負載更重，電池所需的充電基礎設施也更苛刻。
Adam Baker, Amazon's vice president of global logistics, commented, "There is no playbook." Amazon is collecting battery performance data to decide the number of trucks needed for their operations.
亞馬遜全球物流副總裁亞當·貝克評論說：“沒有劇本。”亞馬遜正在收集電池性能數據，以決定其運營所需的卡車數量。
Keith Brandis, vice president of partnerships and system solutions at Volvo Trucks North America, noted that the manufacturer of Amazon's electric drayage trucks will maintain collaboration with Amazon and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc (NASDAQ:JBHT), which provides drivers for these vehicles, throughout their deployment.
沃爾沃卡車北美合作伙伴關係和系統解決方案副總裁基思·布蘭迪斯指出，亞馬遜電動拖運卡車的製造商將在部署期間與亞馬遜和爲這些車輛提供司機的J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：JBHT）保持合作。
"Charging infrastructure is the long pole in the tent. We have to get that right," Brandis stated, highlighting the essential role of developing robust charging solutions. In response, ports, private companies, and truck owners are swiftly working to establish heavy-duty chargers to facilitate the shift to zero-emission vehicles.
“充電基礎設施是帳篷裏的長杆。我們必須把這個做好。” 布蘭迪斯說，他強調了開發強大的充電解決方案的重要作用。作爲回應，港口、私營公司和卡車車主正在迅速努力建立重型充電器，以促進向零排放車輛的過渡。
In the short term, Amazon's electric port trucks will utilize a charging facility operated by Forum Mobility, a startup supported by Amazon's Climate Pledge fund, signaling a significant move towards sustainable transportation.
在短期內，亞馬遜的電動港口卡車將使用由亞馬遜氣候承諾基金支持的初創公司Forum Mobility運營的充電設施，這標誌着向可持續交通邁進的重大一步。
