FedEx has placed a $300 million-plus order with Harbinger for 2,000 all-electric trucks, according to the manufacturer. The deal is one of the largest binding orders for electric medium- or heavy-duty trucks in history. FedEx will receive the trucks over the course of about 18 months, starting delivery by the end of 2027. These trucks will be used in FedEx's pickup and delivery operations across the United States and Canada.
This marks a significant step forward for FedEx in their goal of an all-electric fleet by 2040. Harbinger's co-founder and CEO, John Harris, stated that this order demonstrates the business case for incorporating electric vehicles into real-world fleet operations at scale. FedEx placed an initial order for 53 of Harbinger's electric trucks in November 2025, which included a mix of Class 5 and Class 6 models.
This order will replace conventional vehicles one for one, with Harbinger engineers estimating an annual fuel cost savings of $20,000 per truck compared to the diesel vehicles it will replace. Over 20 years, these savings could amount to approximately $800 million, not including the environmental benefits of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 1.7 million tons.
