Harbinger lands $300M-plus FedEx order for 2,000 EV trucks

10/01/2026

Harbinger has received an order from FedEx for 2,000 all-electric trucks, a deal valued at more than $300 million, the Garden Grove, Calif.-based manufacturer announced Wednesday. The trucks are scheduled for delivery by the end of 2027 and will run in FedEx pickup and delivery operations across the United States and Canada.

Harbinger calls the purchase one of the largest binding orders for electric medium- or heavy-duty trucks in history. All 2,000 are due in about 18 months. Co-founder and CEO John Harris told Bloomberg News, via a syndicated Transport Topics article that the company recently finished building its 1,000th vehicle.

FedEx placed an initial order for 53 Harbinger electric trucks in November 2025, a mix of Class 5 and Class 6 models, while co-leading Harbinger’s $160 million Series C. One FedEx executive also sits on Harbinger’s board: Paul Melander, FedEx’s senior vice president of safety and transportation.

“FedEx is demonstrating that the business case for incorporating electric vehicles into real-world fleet operations at scale makes sense,” Harris said. “Our previous work together gave FedEx firsthand experience with the performance and economic advantages Harbinger vehicles can deliver.

”The new trucks will replace conventional vehicles one for one. The order covers a mix of models from Harbinger’s all-electric lineup, though the announcement did not say how many of each FedEx bought. FedEx is working toward an all-electric parcel pickup and delivery fleet by 2040.

“Electrifying a fleet at this scale requires vehicles that can perform the work our robust operations demand while also delivering meaningful economic benefits,” Melander said.
