Ross Gerber Says Amazon, USPS Need to Sunset 'Dirty' Gas Trucks Amid High Fuel Costs, Energy Shocks - Ama

Investor Ross Gerber called for Amazon and the U.S. Postal Service to retire “dirty,” high-cost gasoline delivery trucks and switch to electric amid ongoing fuel price and energy shocks. Writing on X, Gerber pointed to a CleanTechnica report about California-based company winning a 2,500-truck contract with FedEx, praising FedEx’s EV shift. He also noted that Amazon already operates more than 40,000 custom electric delivery vans in the U.S., although gasoline vehicles remain part of its wider fleet. For the USPS, a December statement said its modernization plan targets at least 66,000 battery-electric delivery vehicles by 2028 under an Oshkosh contract and other COTS purchases.
