Amazon places a historic order with Mercedes!

Amazon placed an order for over 200 eActros 600 electric trucks from Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

This is of course the largest order in Amazon’s history, but also the most significant electric truck order ever made by the German manufacturer. These electric vehicles will be integrated into Amazon’s transportation network in Germany and the United Kingdom starting this year, where they are expected to transport over 350 million packages annually. The trucks will be used on high-mileage routes connecting fulfillment centers, sorting centers, and Amazon delivery stations.

The eActros 600 is equipped with a battery of over 600 kWh, offering an autonomy of approximately 500 kilometers with a gross combined weight of 40 tons. This range can be extended through recharges during drivers’ mandatory rest periods, allowing the truck to cover more than 1,000 kilometers per day under certain conditions.

The design of the eActros 600 is minimalist with optimized aerodynamics, aiming to set new standards for fleet profitability. Mercedes-Benz Trucks also offers a holistic solution with vehicle technology, consultancy, charging infrastructure, and services under the TruckCharge brand.

Before this order, a prototype of the eActros 600 was tested by Amazon in Germany, providing crucial data for serial production. The eActros 600 was also named the “International Truck of the Year 2025,” highlighting its importance in sustainable transportation. Mass production of this model began in late 2024 at the Wörth-am-Rhein factory.
