Walmart has entered an agreement with Canoo to purchase thousands of vans from the electric vehicle startup. The retail giant on Tuesday said it will purchase 4,500 examples of Canoo's Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle (LDV), and that it was open to purchasing more should the need arise. The vehicles will be used for delivery of online orders. The move is part of Walmart's goal to eliminate emissions from its operations by 2040, the company said. Canoo presented the LDV in 2019 and has since revealed a larger van and a pickup truck. The LDV is on track to start production in late 2022 and will be delivered to the first customers, including Walmart, in 2023.
