Swedish electric truck company Einride has reached an agreement to deploy 75 electric trucks for Amazon's freight operations in the United States, marking a significant expansion of the logistics giant's electric vehicle fleet.

The partnership comes as Einride is in the process of finalizing a merger with blank-check company Legato Merger Corp. to take the Swedish company public. The timing of the Amazon deal alongside the public offering suggests growing institutional confidence in commercial electric vehicle adoption.

Einride specializes in electric and autonomous freight vehicles, positioning itself as a technology company focused on sustainable logistics solutions. The company has been expanding its operations internationally as demand for electric commercial vehicles increases.

Amazon has been investing heavily in electrifying its delivery and freight operations as part of broader sustainability commitments. The company has previously announced partnerships with other electric vehicle manufacturers and has committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

The deployment of 75 electric trucks represents a substantial addition to Amazon's freight capacity while supporting the company's environmental goals. Details about the timeline for deployment and specific truck models were not immediately available.
