FedEx also led Harbinger's $160M Series C investment and previously ordered 53 trucks. Harbinger projects roughly $20,000 in annual savings per truck versus diesel and over 1.7 million tons of avoided CO2 across the fleet's lifetime, though these are manufacturer estimates rather than measured results. Europe's equivalent startups, Volta Trucks and Tevva, both collapsed, and European depots reportedly need ten to twenty times their current power capacity to run electric fleets, with grid connections taking years. FedEx aims for a fully electric pickup and delivery fleet by 2040. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

FedEx ordered 2,000 electric delivery trucks from Harbinger for $300 million, covering the United States and Canada, with vehicles arriving before the end of 2027. FedEx also led Harbinger's $160 million Series C investment and had previously placed an initial order for 53 trucks. Harbinger projects about $20,000 in annual savings per truck compared to diesel. _Fleet operators weighing electric truck investments can follow deals like this one on daily.dev._ ### Why haven't European companies built electric trucks like Harbinger has in the US? Europe's comparable electric truck startups collapsed: Volta Trucks raised roughly EUR 600 million but filed for bankruptcy in 2023 after its battery supplier failed, and Tevva, which built 7.5-tonne trucks at Tilbury for Royal Mail, went insolvent in May 2024. Beyond company failures, European logistics depots need ten to twenty times their current power capacity to run electric fleets, and grid connections take years to secure. _Anyone comparing US versus European EV infrastructure challenges can track this story on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Harbinger raises $160M, will build trucks for FedEx](https://daily.dev/posts/harbinger-raises-160m-will-build-trucks-for-fedex-6iyyol84w) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The Tesla Semi could be a big deal for electric trucking](https://daily.dev/posts/the-tesla-semi-could-be-a-big-deal-for-electric-trucking-t4maxpiaj) · MIT Technology Review · 6 upvotes · 0 comments - [The rands-and-cents case for electric trucks](https://daily.dev/posts/the-rands-and-cents-case-for-electric-trucks-jiar9shbv) · TechCentral · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [China’s BEV Trucks and the End of Diesel’s Dominance](https://daily.dev/posts/china-s-bev-trucks-and-the-end-of-diesel-s-dominance-pza3jdub2) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#sustainability](https://daily.dev/tags/sustainability) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/fedex-is-buying-2-000-electric-trucks-for-300m-and-investing-in-the-company-building-them-uprrrirhh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"FedEx is buying 2,000 electric trucks for $300M, and investing in the company building them","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedex-is-buying-2-000-electric-trucks-for-300m-and-investing-in-the-company-building-them-uprrrirhh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedex-is-buying-2-000-electric-trucks-for-300m-and-investing-in-the-company-building-them-uprrrirhh"},"datePublished":"2026-10-01T16:21:51.582Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T16:25:59.827Z","description":"FedEx has ordered 2,000 electric delivery trucks worth $300M from California startup Harbinger, arriving before the end of 2027 for US and Canadian operations....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/909f1dbdeb6890b546634305dfc168c3?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/909f1dbdeb6890b546634305dfc168c3?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedex-is-buying-2-000-electric-trucks-for-300m-and-investing-in-the-company-building-them-uprrrirhh","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"sustainability","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"FedEx is buying 2,000 electric trucks for $300M, and investing in the company building them"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fedex-is-buying-2-000-electric-trucks-for-300m-and-investing-in-the-company-building-them-uprrrirhh#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much did FedEx pay for its new electric trucks from Harbinger?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"FedEx ordered 2,000 electric delivery trucks from Harbinger for $300 million, covering the United States and Canada, with vehicles arriving before the end of 2027.
