- American e-commerce giant Amazon crossed an important milestone in its vehicle electrification journey.
- The company now has 50,000 electric delivery vans globally.
- Most of the battery-powered vehicles are Rivian vans, but thousands of Mercedes-Benz commercial EVs are also part of the fleet.
Amazon, the e-commerce giant that sells everything from pens to ATVs, now has over 50,000 electric vans delivering parcels across the globe. It’s an important milestone, but there’s still work to be done, as the company has pledged to have 100,000 electric delivery vehicles on the road by 2030.
The American firm hasn’t detailed exactly what brands and models it is using to deliver packages in its global operations, but we know from previous reports that the majority of electric vans in Amazon’s fleet were made by Rivian.
The California EV startup has delivered over 30,000 custom-built Electric Delivery Vans (EDV) to Amazon as part of its deal with the e-commerce giant to deploy 100,000 units of the lovable commercial EV.
In addition to the tens of thousands of Rivian-made vans, the vast majority of which are roaming American roads, Amazon ended 2025 with over 10,000 battery-powered delivery vans in Europe, where it and its partners boosted their EV fleet significantly.
Last year, the online marketplace’s European EV fleet added nearly 5,000 Mercedes-Benz vans, most of which were deployed across Austria, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. While Rivian’s commercial EVs are built in the United States, the electric vans made by Mercedes-Benz for Amazon were manufactured in Germany and Spain.
To keep its expanding electric vehicle fleet moving, Amazon has built tens of thousands of charging points across its facilities globally, including thousands across Europe. In the U.S., the company operates the largest private EV charging network, with over 17,000 stalls keeping vans topped up at delivery centers across the country.
Besides regular vans, Amazon has also deployed over 100 electric trucks from Mercedes-Benz in Europe, with plans to double that fleet by the end of this year. Several electric cargo bikes, mopeds, and pushcarts also come in handy on narrow European city streets, pedestrian zones, and low-emissions areas. The company said it delivered over 30 million packages last year using these small EVs in Europe, with more than 70 micromobility hubs responsible for this statistic.
