(Reuters) - FedEx Office will pilot Ford Motor Co's electric vans to pickup and deliver parcels in some regions, the unit of FedEx Corp said on Tuesday, as part of the delivery giant's move to cut its fleet's tailpipe emissions.

FedEx, in collaboration with Ford Pro, will test 10 Ford E-Transit vans across its 'FedEx SameDay City network' in nine markets.
