Walmart (WMT) Inc announced on Wednesday that it is extending transportation pilots with electric, hydrogen, and natural gas vehicle manufacturers, including Cummins Inc (CMI) and Daimler Trucks’ Freightliner.
The collaborations, which come on top of previously announced transportation collaborations, are part of Walmart’s 2040 aim of zero-emissions across its worldwide operations.
Chevron Corp (CVX) and Walmart have agreed to supply compressed natural gas. In an effort to reduce emissions, an increasing number of companies have entered the commercial EV market.

Walmart also wants to conduct a battery-powered pilot at one of its California distribution sites, employing Freightliner’s Cascadia and Nikola Corp’s Tre BEV heavy-duty trucks.
