E as in e-commerce, not as in electric or eco... At best they say operating expenses are 30% less.

It’s E as in Embraer, the manufacture of the plane. Their models always start with an E, and their related family of jets (E170/175 and E190/195) are collectively called the E-Jet family. This is derived from the larger versions (E190/E195) and is thus the E-Freighter.
