Is it true or false that Wuhan Star set sail?Amazon plans to invest more than 1 billion euros in Europe

Wuhan Xingqihang was informed that on October 10, US time, Amazon stated on its official website that in the next five years, it will invest more than 1 billion euros in Europe to build electric vans, trucks and low-emission package centers to accelerate to 2040. Net zero carbon emissions target.

Amazon said it now has 3,000 electric vans for package delivery in Europe and expects to increase the number of electric vans in Europe to more than 10,000 by 2025.

Amazon has not disclosed the proportion of electric vehicles in its European “last-mile delivery network”, but its 3,000 electric vans will already deliver more than 100 million packages in 2021.

Amazon also said it hopes to buy more than 1,500 electric heavy goods vehicles over the next few years for "medium-haul" freight to package centers, which are goods between Amazon's package centers to manufacturing centers and ports. transportation. To power the electric heavy-duty trucks, Amazon will also build hundreds of specialized fast chargers across Europe, enabling vehicles to charge in about two hours.

In addition to electric vehicles, Amazon has also said it will invest in thousands of charging facilities across Europe. The company has already launched "micro-mobility hubs" in more than 20 European cities, including London, Munich and Paris, and expects to double that number by the end of 2025.

Micromobility hubs are smaller, city-centre distribution stations. In Europe's densely populated cities, the hubs could assist new delivery methods such as e-cargo bikes and walking deliveries, which can ease traffic congestion in city centers and reduce emissions, Amazon said.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said: "The transportation network is one of the company's most challenging businesses to decarbonize, and achieving net-zero carbon emissions requires significant and ongoing investment."

Amazon said the investment could accelerate Amazon’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, a 10-year reduction from the “net-zero 2050” mentioned in the Paris Agreement.

In fact, this is not the first time Amazon has made efforts to combat climate change. Earlier in July, Amazon said it planned to have thousands of electric vans in more than 100 U.S. cities by the end of 2022, and promised to put 100,000 electric vans to deliver packages in the United States by 2030. By then, Amazon will cut millions of tons of carbon emissions every year.
