Amazon Deploys 50 Mercedes-Benz eActros Electric Semi Trucks Across Germany

Amazon is expanding its zero-emission logistics push into Europe, confirming that 50 Mercedes-Benz eActros battery-electric semi trucks will be operating on German roads by the end of 2026.

The move builds on Amazon’s broader effort to electrify its delivery network, a strategy the company has already applied across the United States. Shifting part of its German freight operations to battery-powered Class 8 trucks signals that the retailer sees heavy-duty electric hauling as a practical option rather than a distant experiment.

Mercedes-Benz’s eActros line is designed for regional and long-haul distribution work, the kind of duty cycle that makes up much of Amazon’s logistics footprint. While the announcement covers Germany specifically, it points to a wider European rollout as more charging infrastructure comes online and fleet operators gain confidence in electric semis.
