When I saw the headline about this I immediately thought it was a bit of gimmicky fluff. However, investing in 10 such aircraft is quite an expensive gimmick (even more so if the option to purchase a further 150 is taken up) so perhaps we should take this move seriously.
Coupled with UPS's apparent commitment to building a fleet of EVs one hopes this might put a bomb up the whole delivery sector. I suspect that in the aftermath of COVID-19 on-line shopping will come to a new plateau at a significantly higher level than pre-pandemic. The emissions pressure this will create cannot be ignored.
