A response to the demands of business and our planet. Adding the new eStar™ to your fleet makes a powerful statement about your company’s environmental commitment. Designed from the ground up to be electric, eStar is more efficient and effective than typical electric conversions. Not to mention adaptable to future battery technology.
Going green shouldn’t mean giving up anything. Our road-tested truck offers peppy acceleration. Handles up to a 4,000 pound payload. Plus, cruises up to 100 miles on a single charge. It’s all made possible by Navistar®, a global leader in clean vehicle technology. Turn your fleet on to the electric truck revolution with eStar today!

Cruise the site and you see these guys have a bit of an attitude. Nice and refreshing not to be all safe and "corporate".
Brochure copy:

"The new eStar™ produces no CO, CO2, NOX tailpipe emissions. That’s zero as in zip, zilch, nada, nil."

"The new eStar offers a simple, 220 volt split phase electrical charging process that’s quick and efficient. No fuel depot. No waiting for a pump at the end of the day. The eStar recharges overnight in approximately 8 hours and is ready for work in the morning."

"This is not a conversion or retrofit. The new eStar was built from the battery up, which means it can easily handle payloads up to 4,000 pounds. Plus, it was designed to adapt to new battery technology as it becomes available. We call it future-proof."

That's a really nice looking truck. I've always liked FedEx as a company.

Sweet.

I will high five the driver if I see one here in LA.

I have had the pleasure of driving these and towing them. They are defiantly not the future. No doors in the passenger compartment, you have to enter & exit thru the package area

Looks like side doors right behind the driver seat

WRT side doors, it looks like the UPS van is an extended version of the base model with the door.
