FedEx places $300M electric truck order from logistics startup Harbinger
FedEx just placed a $300 million electric truck order with Harbinger, a logistics startup now reportedly eyeing an IPO. It's the biggest deal Harbinger has ever landed, and it signals something important: legacy fleets are ready to move. This isn't hype, it's a concrete bet on practical, AI-adjacent innovation in logistics.

Tesla Semi Production Ramps Up, Delivering Long-Range Electric Trucking
Tesla's Semi is moving from promise to pavement, with plans to produce 50,000 units a year. That scale matters because a 500-mile range isn't just a spec; it's the threshold that makes electric trucking viable for real logistics routes. We see this as a deliberate push to normalize long-haul electrification, not a flashy stunt. For fleets tired of range anxiety, this ramp signals a practical shift. Curious how similar momentum is shaping autonomy? Our piece on Waymo's Texas fleet growth offers a useful parallel.

Grounded, a Detroit startup, just raised $5 million to customize electric and gas-powered vans. The company has smartly pivoted from building van-life conversions to outfitting vehicles for small businesses. That shift feels timely, especially as the commercial EV market in the US faces new hurdles. It is a practical move toward meeting real operational needs.
