Tesco orders 750 electric Maxus vans

The order is Harris Maxus UK’s largest electric vehicle (EV) order to date and follows the delivery of 232 eDELIVER 9s to Tesco in 2025. Bodywork will be supplied by Solomon and refrigeration systems from Thermo King and GAH will be equipped.

Rob Smallwood, fleet services operations manager at Tesco, said: “Our electric home delivery fleet is an important part of our journey to carbon neutrality across our operations. Placing this order will help us on our journey to operating a fully electric home delivery fleet by 2030.

“Our partnership with Harris Maxus UK, which began with an innovative electric concept vehicle in 2019, has grown in strength and proven the capability and reliability of the eDELIVER 9 to help decarbonise our delivery operations.”

Bill Laidlaw, UK sales director at Harris Maxus UK, said: “We are committed to supporting Tesco as it works towards its goal of establishing its zero-emissions fleet. Our eDELIVER 9 has consistently demonstrated its capability to meet Tesco’s operational needs, delivering a productive and reliable solution since 2019.”
