Amazon Supercharges UK Sustainability with Largest-Ever Electric Truck Order

Amazon is rewriting the rules of green logistics. The retail giant has made the UK’s most significant purchase of electric heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) yet—nearly 150 trucks from Mercedes-Benz and Volvo—signaling a bold step toward sustainable delivery.

This move builds on a £300m green transport investment and highlights a critical push to electrify UK road fleets. While challenges like limited public charging infrastructure remain, Amazon’s commitment to decarbonizing its supply chain by 2040 offers a powerful example for the industry.
