The Shyft Group, Inc. announced a purchase order with FedEx for an initial order of 150 Blue Arc EV Trucks to be integrated into the FedEx pickup and delivery fleet in the U.S. This order reflects the shared commitment of both organizations to reduce carbon emissions and reduce air pollution through the adoption of commercial-grade electric vehicles (EVs). FedEx tested the vehicle in real-life conditions, using it on last-mile delivery routes in Memphis. During the pilot, the Blue Arc truck operated extended 8-10 hour routes under challenging conditions, including temperatures ranging from 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, marking a significant milestone in the vehicle's readiness for widespread commercial use.

The Blue Arc truck, designed for seamless fleet integration, proved reliable on long routes, efficient in energy use, and able to regenerate 20-30 kW of power through its regenerative braking system. Such features underscore the vehicle's readiness for real-world commercial applications, with drivers highlighting its ease of maneuverability and overall comfort compared to conventional gas vehicles.
