Amazon has entered into an agreement with Swedish freight technology company Einride to introduce 75 electric heavy-duty trucks into its U.S. logistics operations. Rather than purchasing or directly operating the vehicles, Amazon will integrate them into its Relay freight network, a platform that connects independent truck drivers with delivery jobs. Einride will retain ownership of the trucks and manage them using its proprietary Saga AI software, while also building charging infrastructure across five U.S. locations.

This partnership represents a strategic step for both companies. For Amazon, it supports its broader commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, particularly by addressing the challenge of decarbonizing long-haul trucking—one of the most difficult segments of transportation to electrify. The company views this deployment as a learning opportunity to better understand how electric freight solutions perform at scale within its complex logistics system.
