Amazon is adding 1800 new electric vehicles to its European delivery fleet as it seeks to meet its climate goals. The vehicles come from carmaker Mercedes-Benz, which has just joined Amazon in pledging to reach net zero carbon by 2040. The ecommerce giant will use the vehicles to make deliveries by the end of the year. Six hundred of the vehicles will be mid-size eVitos while the remaining two thirds of the vans will be the larger eSprinter model, which includes more advanced safety features. Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO, said: "We welcome the bold leadership demonstrated by Mercedes-Benz by signing up to The Climate Pledge and committing to ambitious action to address climate change. "We need continued innovation and partnership from auto manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz to decarbonize the transportation sector and tackle the climate crisis.
