The vehicles stem from the large-scale order agreed upon at the beginning of 2025 by Amazon for more than 200 eActros 600 trucks. Around 140 of these were earmarked for the UK from the outset, with around 50 intended for Germany. The first vehicles from this order entered service in the UK at the end of 2025. Now, the larger-scale delivery for the German market is also beginning.
Amazon plans to deploy the eActros 600 on the so-called ‘middle mile’, meaning for transport between logistics centres and urban areas. The companies have not disclosed how the more than 50 vehicles will be distributed across individual locations and routes in Germany, nor what mileage is planned.
The large-scale order was preceded by a practical test with a near-series prototype of the eActros 600 at a German Amazon logistics centre. Amazon has also been using heavy-duty electric trucks in Germany for several years: among other things, the company ordered a total of 20 Volvo FH Electric trucks for its German transport network in 2022.

The eActros 600 has been in series production at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth am Rhein since the end of 2024. Its three LFP battery packs offer a total installed capacity of 621 kWh. Mercedes-Benz Trucks states a range of around 500 km without intermediate charging. The vehicle can be charged at up to 400 kW via CCS.
