Shippers have questions in today’s dynamic transportation world and need answers. We know this at Amazon Freight because we are listening to you. More than half (57%) of shippers say they use freight carrier websites to research and learn according to a B2B International Survey.
That’s why we’re pleased to announce the Amazon Freight Newsroom Blog. You have expressed how you would like us to communicate more frequently about what’s happening with Amazon Freight, our products, promotions, people, and the industry. The Amazon Freight Newsroom is how we’ll do that.
Here’s what you’ll find.
Insights from our experts
Weather events, peak holiday season tumult, transportation technology advancements, supply chain bull whips…the list goes on. Change is constant for you and the only thing you can be sure of is a shipper’s challenges today will be different tomorrow.
We’re here to help make sense of the uncertainty and give you guidance. Amazon has industry experts in the areas of logistics, transportation tech, packaging, safety, and more. You’ll hear their voices on this blog to help you interpret trends and developments.
A big area we’ll cover is sustainability. We know many of you and your customers are focused on it, and so are we. Transportation is a major component of Amazon’s business operations and a key part of our plan to reach net-zero carbon by 2040.
We are optimizing and transforming our transportation network through technological innovations, efficiency enhancements, and alternative solutions that allow us to deliver to our customers more sustainably. For instance, as of 2021, we ordered more than 3,000 compressed natural gas vehicles, and we’re procuring millions of gallons of renewable natural gas created from waste stocks to power them.
