Amazon.com Inc. has been quietly evaluating General Motors Co.’s BrightDrop electric van, evidence that the e-commerce company continues to explore options to reduce the carbon emissions of its sprawling delivery operation.

Amazon confirmed in a statement to Bloomberg that it was testing the vehicles. “We’re committed to having 100,000 electric delivery vehicles on the road by 2030, and we regularly test various vehicle options — including a small number of Chevrolet BrightDrops in our fleet,” Steve Kelly, a company spokesperson, said in an emailed statement.
