In addition, EV leader Tesla has yet to enter that market.<\/p>\n<p>Those large customers will be key to determining winners and losers as established automakers compete with startups to electrify the world\u2019s package delivery system. Amazon earlier on Wednesday said it will collaborate with Stellantis to develop cars and trucks with Amazon software in the dashboards, and deploy electric vans made by the automaker in Amazon\u2019s delivery network.<\/p>\n<p>GM, which announced it was entering the EV van business last January, has estimated the U.S. market for parcel and food delivery vehicles will climb to more than $850 billion by 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Delivery vans in a Walmart parking lot \" class=\"wp-image-20724429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Walmart is part of a US market for parcel and food delivery vehicles that GM estimates will climb to more than $850 billion by 2025.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Detroit automaker started delivering the EV600 van last month and will add the smaller EV410 in late 2023.

The first\u00a0BrightDrop\u00a0vans will be delivered in early 2023.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"A closeup photo of an electric Chevrolet Volt plugged in and being charged\" class=\"wp-image-20724357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>GM has made electric passenger cars, like this Chevy Volt, for more than a decade, but announced it was entering the EV van business last January.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">PETER PARKS\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile, FedEx, which had begun taking delivery of 500 EVs from GM last year, is reserving another 2,000 over the next few years and is negotiating to take up to an additional 20,000 after that. FedEx also wants to achieve a carbon-neutral footprint for its global operations by 2040.<\/p>\n<p>FedEx expects to add more than 200,000 electric medium-sized delivery vehicles by 2040, and GM\u2019s current two named models cover two-thirds of those needs, FedEx Express Regional President of the Americas Richard Smith said on a conference call. Fedex expects by 2030 that all new delivery vehicles purchased will be electric.<\/p>\n<p>FedEx also has discussed GM supplying the larger vehicles with more cargo space that would meet the company\u2019s needs required by the remaining one-third, he said. GM Chief Executive Mary Barra previously said\u00a0BrightDrop\u00a0would offer a full-size van.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"A FedEx worker unloads packages from his delivery truck\" class=\"wp-image-20724457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/walmart-fedex-buy-gm-electric-vans3.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>FedEx is among a number of major corporations that have pledged to shift their large delivery fleets to EVs.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBrightDrop\u2019s real, they\u2019re here now, their trucks are on the road for us in California delivering packages,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThat\u2019s another reason we\u2019re leaning in to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FedEx and Walmart officials both said their deals with GM are not exclusive and they have talked with other EV makers.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
