The fleet will be charged and operate out of Amazons Tilbury and Milton Keynes 360kW sites.

John Boumphrey, Amazon UK country manager, said: Amazon is one of the first companies in the world to put electric heavy goods trucks on the road. Were committed to becoming net-zero carbon by 2040, and this is a milestone as we continue to decarbonise our transportation network so we can deliver more customer orders using zero-emissions vehicles.

Transport minister Trudy Harrison said: It is fantastic to see Amazon and the fleet industry playing its part in the UKs world-leading plans to clean up our air, boost green jobs and decarbonise our vital transport network.
