FedEx has added 41 Maxus e‑Deliver 3 electric vans to its fleet in Malaysia, in an effort to cut CO₂ emissions by about 305 tonnes annually as it works towards carbon‑neutral operations by 2040.
The vans, capable of carrying up to 920kg and travelling roughly 228km on a full charge, will operate in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Ipoh, Penang and the Klang Valley.
FedEx installed 41 AC and DC charging points at key sites in Malaysia earlier this year to support the fleet.
“The successful cross‑border EV delivery between Malaysia and Singapore last year reinforced our confidence in the role electric vehicles can play in logistics,” said Tien Long Woon, managing director of FedEx Malaysia.
“This latest EV fleet expansion is a meaningful step forward in embedding sustainability into our day-to-day operations.”
The rollout supports national policies such as the ‘Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (2021‑2030)’ and the ‘Twelfth Malaysia Plan’, both of which prioritise green growth.
FedEx first deployed two electric vans in the Klang Valley in May 2023 and completed the country’s inaugural cross‑border electric delivery to Singapore in February 2024 – a feat recorded by the Malaysian Book of Records.
Beyond vehicle electrification, FedEx offers its Sustainability Insights platform, giving customers access to shipment‑level emissions data to help them optimise greener logistics.
FedEx’s EV deployment sits alongside broader global sustainability efforts. For example the company recently purchased more than three million gallons of blended sustainable aviation fuel for operations at Los Angeles International Airport – the largest SAF procurement there by a US cargo airline to date.
