Amazon will be adding more than 800 new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter vans to its UK delivery fleet in the coming months.
The vans are said to have been customised based on feedback from drivers and delivery partners.
They feature improved safety elements, ergonomic designs for drivers, and practical delivery enhancements including custom shelving and sliding bulkhead doors designed for more efficient package handling.
The new vans are part of a range of sustainability initiatives from Amazon, which also include new electric HGVs and electric cargo bikes.
To support its EVs, Amazon has installed fast chargers at its sites. However, it says charging infrastructure nationally is still a challenge.
Amazon Logistics EU VP Nicola Fyfe said: “We’ve invested in our own facilities but need continued industry and government collaboration to develop the national network required for widespread electric vehicle adoption.”
