What is this electric truck that Amazon is using?

[Vinc]

I saw an odd Amazon truck a few days ago that seems to be advertised as electric. Yet, it is not a Rivian prototype and I could not find any references to it online. Anybody knows?

Dunno. Try to locate that logo on the front of the truck?

 

[Vinc]

I tried, but I could not figure out what it is. And yet, it kind of looks familiar. I thought it could be Workhorse, but it does not seem to be.

Yes! Great catch. Interestingly I cannot find an official partnership with Amazon, but that is absolutely it. Thanks!

The battery cooling management system seems very advanced....

Thank you for the link bit I wish the Web site provides some technical information.
Looking ant some of the videos I noticed the following:

1. The motor is located longitudinally, instead of been located between the wheels, like the Tesla Semi:

So there is a need to use a traditional drive shaft and differential,
which might not be the most efficient solution, but might be the most economical solution.

The use a traditional drive shaft and differential,
might also allows using a standard transmission gear box, which might be needed for the semi version.

2. The batteries seem to use some cylindrical cells, but I didn't notice any liquid cooling system:

Yep. Just from the website, had I not seen one in everyday traffic, I would totally think that they are another vaporware, we may deliver something a few years from now, kind of brand.

I consider such trucks been more like a conversion system similar to Workhorse.

The Rivian vans project for Amazon seems a little more technologically advanced:

Looks like a great value product!

The nearest amazon fulfillment center to me is just over an hour. I see the large Amazon vans in my area. But. I have yet to see these vans. Are they only in California?
