Meet Amazon’s electric vehicles making deliveries around the world

Key takeaways

Amazon has more than 50,000 electric delivery vans in its global fleet.
Amazon has put more than 15 electric vehicle models on the road to test and learn, from e-cargo bikes and three-wheelers to heavy-duty trucks.
Amazon carefully selects each vehicle type to fit specific routes and regions across its global operations.

As Amazon continues to work toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, the company is constantly innovating to transform our operations and positively impact local communities. This includes investing in safe nuclear power for our data centers, building facilities with lower-carbon engineered wood, and reducing packaging and making the materials we use easier to recycle.

Amazon is also pioneering lower-emission ways to get packages to doorsteps. The company has rolled out more than 50,000 electric delivery vans across its global fleet—halfway to its goal of at least 100,000 by 2030—as part of a broader push that includes a growing number of different electric vehicles in cities and countries around the globe.

These vehicles each have their own look and style, but their mission is the same: transporting everything from vacuum cleaners to shampoo through its fulfillment network and to customers, while helping reduce tailpipe emissions and noise.

Amazon carefully selects these makes and models to meet the specific needs of different regions and routes across its operations, as each vehicle has its own strengths and characteristics.

- Amazon began testing e-cargo bikes in 2017. Delivery Associates are now using e-bikes to make deliveries in New York City and Washington D.C. The company has also launched more than 70 micromobility hubs across more than 50 cities in Europe.

E-Scooters
