Walmart, which plans to expand its InHome grocery delivery service to 62 million US households, will deploy Chevrolet BrightDrop 400 vans in Austin, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, northwest Arkansas, Orlando and the San Francisco Bay area by the end of the year.

The BrightDrop 400 is produced at GM’s CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. It features a 360-degree HD Surround Vision camera, blind-zone steering assist, auto-closing doors and low-step ergonomic design.

Walmart drivers participated in a pilot with GM to assess the vehicle in live operations. “During the pilot, we listened closely to our InHome associates’ feedback and were impressed by the vans’ performance in real-world scenarios,” said Warren Moore, VP of Dedicated Delivery at Walmart in the US.
