Amazon Drivers Hit 25 Million Deliveries in Orland, Powered by Mitsubishi Outlander
What started as a small-town bet on rural delivery has turned into one of Amazon's most impressive success stories. The Orland Distribution Center just celebrated its 25 millionth delivery, a milestone that showcases not only Amazon's commitment to Northern California communities but also the reliable vehicles that make it all possible.
And guess what's been quietly powering thousands of these daily deliveries? The trusty Mitsubishi Outlander. From Orland's rural roads to bustling neighborhoods across the North Valley, Amazon drivers have been counting on Outlander's dependability, cargo space, and all-weather capability to get packages where they need to go, on time, every time.
The Numbers Tell an Amazing Story
Let's talk scale. Amazon's Orland facility processes more than 28,000 packages every single day. That's not just impressive, it's mind-blowing for a facility that opened just four years ago. With over 250 dedicated employees working around the clock, this distribution center has become the beating heart of package delivery across Northern California.
Amanda Garcia, the site leader for the Orland Delivery Center, puts it perfectly: "No package gets left behind." Whether it's someone's birthday gift, graduation present, or that last-minute ingredient needed for dinner, every single delivery matters. And when you're handling that volume with that level of care, you need vehicles that won't let you down.
That's where the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander comes in. Amazon drivers throughout the region have discovered what we've known all along, this SUV was practically built for delivery work.
Why Amazon Drivers Choose the Outlander
Think about what a delivery driver needs: reliability, cargo space, fuel efficiency, and the ability to handle everything from smooth highways to bumpy rural roads. The Outlander delivers on all fronts.
Cargo Space That Works: The Outlander's spacious interior and flexible seating configuration make it perfect for organizing packages of all sizes. Drivers can easily access deliveries without having to unload half their truck, a huge time-saver when you're making dozens of stops.
Built for Rural Roads: Northern California isn't all smooth pavement. From gravel driveways in Chico to winding mountain roads near Oroville, Amazon drivers need a vehicle that can handle varied terrain. The Outlander's higher ground clearance and available all-wheel drive mean packages get delivered regardless of road conditions.
Fuel Efficiency Matters: When you're driving hundreds of miles daily, every mpg counts. The Outlander's efficient engine keeps operating costs down, something both Amazon and individual delivery contractors appreciate.
Reliability You Can Count On: Here's the big one. Amazon drivers can't afford breakdowns or unexpected repairs. They need vehicles that start every morning and keep running all day. That's exactly what the Outlander provides, backed by Mitsubishi's industry-leading 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
Supporting Local Jobs and Community Growth
Amazon's investment in Orland represents something bigger than just package delivery, it's about bringing quality jobs to rural communities. Those 250+ employees aren't just numbers; they're neighbors, family members, and community contributors who depend on reliable transportation to get to work.
Many Amazon employees have discovered that vehicles from West Mitsubishi offer the perfect combination of affordability, reliability, and local service support. When your livelihood depends on getting to work every day, having a dependable vehicle serviced by a trusted local dealer makes all the difference.
Mayor Matt Romano has praised Amazon's Orland facility as representing "retail today and retail in the future." That future is being built by hardworking people driving dependable vehicles, many of them Mitsubishi Outlanders purchased right here in Orland.
The Plug-In Hybrid Advantage
Forward-thinking delivery contractors are also exploring the 2025 Outlander Plug-In Hybrid for even greater efficiency. With up to 38 miles of all-electric driving range, the Outlander PHEV can handle many local delivery routes on pure electric power, meaning zero gas costs and zero emissions for shorter runs.
For contractors making dozens of stops within a compact area, the ability to plug in overnight and drive electric during peak delivery hours represents serious cost savings. Plus, when longer routes require it, the gas engine seamlessly kicks in for unlimited range.
Looking Toward the Future: Redding Expansion
Amazon's success in Orland isn't going unnoticed. The company has announced plans for a new delivery center in Redding, expanding their rural delivery network even further. This growth means more jobs, more opportunity, and yes: more demand for reliable delivery vehicles.
As Amazon continues investing in Northern California communities, we expect to see even more delivery contractors choosing Mitsubishi vehicles for their dependability and value. The Outlander's proven track record in Orland's challenging delivery environment makes it a natural choice for Redding's expansion as well.
