The first of the UK's largest-ever order of electric heavy-goods vehicles (eHGVs) joined Amazon's transportation network today, crossing the Humber Bridge to deliver packages to Amazon customers nationwide. Once fully deployed, the UK will be home to 160 eHGVs, the largest number of electric trucks in Amazon's global transportation network. The trucks, transporting products between Amazon logistics hubs across the UK, will travel the annual equivalent of more than 450 trips around the Earth on UK roads once fully operational, carrying more than 300 million products.This winter, Amazon is making two further updates to bring more products to customers' doors with zero exhaust emissions: adding 800 new electric vans across the UK and extending pedestrian deliveries to London's Borough of Camden. These walking couriers, along with the electric vans, help Amazon reduce carbon emissions and alleviate traffic congestion.
