Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in supply chain,
dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions, announces
the deployment of its first BrightDrop Zevo 600 electric vans at
four strategic Ryder facilities in California, Texas, and New York.
The introduction of BrightDrop’s electric vans within Ryder’s
rental fleet marks an important step in the company’s ongoing
efforts to meet the rising demand and adoption of commercial
electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States. Earlier this year,
Ryder announced plans to introduce 4,000 BrightDrop electric vans
to its fleet through 2025, with the first 200 ordered this
year.

To introduce these new EVs into the Ryder fleet, Ryder hosted
“Ride & Drive” events for customers showcasing the BrightDrop
vans, as well as EV chargers from ChargePoint. Customers
experienced the power, safety, and efficiency of the vehicles and
learned more about the latest in Ryder’s fleet investments and
strategic initiatives with EV and charging manufacturers.
The BrightDrop Zevo 600 electric vans are now available for rent
at Ryder locations in Southern California (Santa Fe Springs);
Northern California (Hayward); Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (Saginaw);
and New York (Long Island City).
“Working with companies such as BrightDrop keeps Ryder at the
forefront of identifying and testing advanced and emerging vehicle
technology, and we’re excited to incorporate these new EVs into our
fleet,” says Tom Havens, president of fleet management solutions
for Ryder. “Through our partnerships with technology providers and
equipment manufacturers, Ryder can offer commercial fleet
management solutions that drive sustainability and operational
goals for our customers.”
The BrightDrop Zevo 600 electric van boasts a range of up to 250
miles and can support a payload of 1,460 to 2,450 lbs. With a cargo
capacity of 615 cubic feet, BrightDrop’s electric light commercial
van offers the benefits of an electric powertrain with ample cargo
space.
“Electrifying commercial fleets can reduce operating emissions
without sacrificing range, safety, or performance,” said Steve
Hornyak, chief commercial officer for BrightDrop. “By adding
BrightDrop EVs to its fleet offerings, Ryder is helping make
electrification possible for companies big and small.”
BrightDrop Zevos and other EV options are available for rent
through the Ryder rental fleet, which provides flexible vehicle
insurance coverage, around the clock roadside assistance,
single-source maintenance, geotagging for tracking and monitoring
vehicle usage, and more. The charging infrastructure at Ryder
facilities is enabled by ChargePoint, a leading provider of
networked hardware and software solutions for charging EVs, and
public charging stations offer accessible charging options,
enabling longer trips and greater flexibility.
Earlier this year, Ryder unveiled RyderElectric+™ as its new
turnkey EV fleet solution. The new offering navigates the EV
landscape for customers and provides electrification advisors,
leased vehicles, charging, telematics, and maintenance all for one
price.
“Ryder’s aim is to continue to evaluate and provide advanced
vehicle technology solutions to help customers seamlessly integrate
EVs into their business,” says Carlo Rodriguez, managing director
for electric vehicles for Ryder.
