URBAN SOLUTIONS FOR LAST-MILE DELIVERY CONT. The Zevo 600 is the fastest vehicle program to market in GM’s history Record-setting development timeline of just 20 months enabling delivery of our first units in December 2021 BrightDrop completed the first production builds of the Zevo 600 in September 2021, making the Zevo 600 the fastest vehicle program to market in GM’s history. The record- setting development timeline of just 20 months was made possible by leveraging the highly flexible Ultium battery platform, innovative virtual development processes established by the GMC HUMMER EV program and an agile approach to manufacturing development. The timetable enabled delivery of the first few of 500 eLCVs to FedEx Express, BrightDrop’s first customer, in December. Also in 2021, BrightDrop unveiled the Zevo 400, a smaller eLCV. Verizon, one of the largest fleet operators in the United States, is the first customer slated to integrate the Zevo 400 into its field maintenance and service fleet. The Zevo 400 combines many of the same features of the Zevo 600, but its smaller size enables enhanced curb management, maneuverability and the ability to fit into a standard-size parking space—a benefit for customer operations and a key feature to help reduce street congestion in urban areas. In early 2022, BrightDrop also added Walmart as a customer, with the retailer reserving 5,000 units of BrightDrop’s Zevo 600 and smaller Zevo 400 electric delivery vans to be ordered. The units will support Walmart’s last-mile delivery network and goal of operating an all-electric logistics fleet by 2040. BrightDrop is an example of how we are leveraging technology platforms into new markets while also leveraging GM’s ability to execute at scale. We are converting our CAMI manufacturing plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, to produce the BrightDrop eLCVs.
