History

Historical Context

The U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act in 2008, aiming to enhance renewable energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions. FedEx's deployment of 41 electric vans in Malaysia and 55 in Australia reflects this initiative, targeting a reduction of 305 metric tonnes of CO2 annually. This move aligns with corporate sustainability trends intensified by the Paris Agreement in 2015.
