Amazon is ordering 100,000 Rivian electric delivery vans

Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos on Thursday committed the online retailer to being carbon neutral by 2040 and said it would order 100,000 electric delivery vehicles as part of that pledge. Cutting emissions is a challenging goal for Amazon, which delivers 10 billion items a year. Bezos announced a number of actions at a press conference in Washington ahead of Climate Week in New York next week, a global gathering of world and company leaders seeking ways to fight climate change.
