London, January 14, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Amazon has placed its largest-ever order of more than 200 battery-electric heavy goods vehicles – and has selected the flagship Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 from Mercedes-Benz Trucks. This is also the largest order for electric trucks in the history of the truck manufacturer. The electric trucks will be deployed across high-mileage routes that make up Amazon’s middle-mile network, transporting cargo containers to and from Amazon’s fulfilment centres, sort centres, and delivery stations. With more than 140 trucks to be deployed in the UK and more than 50 in Germany, the zero emission vehicles are expected to transport more than 350 million packages with zero-exhaust emissions.
The order is preceded by the practical testing of a near-series prototype of the eActros 600 in one of Amazon’s logistics centers in Germany.
