    "excerpt": "The decision to go with an emerging supplier rather than traditional manufacturers shows that the transition in large fleets is not closed. The declared fuel savings reach US$ 40 million per year, and the replacement will be one-to-one in pick-up & delivery operations in the United States and Canada. The contract went to Harbinger, a Californian manufacturer of electric chassis for medium-duty trucks, which beat out traditional suppliers in the segment. FedEx confirmed a firm order for 2,000 medium-duty electric trucks from Harbinger. The total value exceeds US$ 300 million, which leaves an estimated average price of US$ 150,000 per unit if the exact amount is taken as a reference. The units will be built and delivered within approximately 18 months from the order. The full deployment of the fleet is planned for the end of 2027 in FedEx's package collection and delivery operations in the United States and Canada. The company's declared fuel savings reach US$ 40 million annually. That is the data that explains the decision: 20,000 dollars per truck per year in fuel alone, not counting the lower maintenance cost of an electric vehicle compared to a diesel.\nThe order targets the medium-duty segment, categories Class 4 to 6 of the North American market. These are trucks with a gross vehicle weight of between 14,000 and 26,000 pounds, typical for urban and light regional delivery...",
