as declared in Mercedes-BenzMercedes-Benz's upcoming eVito is an electric transit van aimed at commercial customers. Amazon just purchased 100 of the vehicles - they'll be added to the company's delivery fleet in 2019, after they're released. Amazon just bought 100 electric vans from Mercedes-Benz that will be added to its delivery fleet lineup sometime in 2019. The eVito, made by Mercedes-Benz, is an upcoming transit van aimed at commercial customers, like Amazon. Amazon is also in the process of testing delivery drones, in an attempt to make some deliveries possible in 30 minutes or less.

Now Amazon is getting on board with a fleet of all-electric vans from Mercedes-Benz. Furthermore, Amazon and Mercedes-Benz Vans are working with other partners on a wide-ranging operator concept for the Bochum facility. Electrek's TakeIf you operate a fleet of delivery vans, you need to start looking at all-electric options for your next vehicles. In the US, Workhorse also recently started delivering its own electric van model and the new California-based startup Chanje is also entering the market with a larger all-electric van.

Amazon will soon be acquiring 100 all-electric delivery vans from Mercedes-Benz

as mentioned in China's Shenzhen city made the switch to an all-electric public city bus fleet some time ago, and now Amazon is looking to follow suit with their delivery vans. Rather than relying on traditional gas-powered vehicles to get packages to their customers, the company plans to invest in 100 all-electric Mercedez-Benz eVito vehicles for their own delivery fleet. 100 delivery vans may not seem like much -- and it's not, compared to the sheer amount of vehicles Amazon uses at any given time -- but it's a good step in the right direction for a tech giant like Amazon. The eVito vehicles will only be able to travel roughly 100-150 kilometers on a single charge. While Amazon is only buying eVito vans, Mercedes-Benz has another vehicle type on offer as well.
