Mercedes-Benz Trucks received the order from Amazon

Leinfelden-Echterdingen / Munich / London – Amazon has placed a record order for over 200 units of Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric trucks, marking the largest EV truck order in Mercedes-Benz Trucks. These zero-emission vehicles will operate on high-mileage routes in Amazon’s middle-mile network, with 140+ trucks in the UK and 50+ in Germany, transporting over 350 million packages emission-free.

Ms. Karin Rådström, Chairwoman of the Board of Management of Daimler Truck AG, said, “We are very pleased that Amazon, a pioneer in the transformation towards alternative drives, has chosen the eActros 600, a gamechanger for sustainable transportation.” 

Ms. Stina Fagerman, Head of Marketing, Sales and Services Mercedes-Benz Trucks, said, “Amazon is an important customer for us on the path towards CO2-neutral transport. A near-series prototype of the eActros 600 has already been trialed by Amazon, providing valuable insights before the start of series production. We are therefore very pleased about this major order for the eActros 600.”

Mr. Andreas Marschner, Vice President of Worldwide Operations Sustainability at Amazon, said, “The order of more than 200 eActros 600 underlines our commitment to being a leader in electrifying our transportation network in Europe. It is the biggest electric heavy truck order by Amazon to date anywhere in the world and is an important step as we work to achieve our Climate Pledge commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040.”
