Amazon is piloting hydrogen fuel-cell trucks in Germany, partnering with Daimler to test the Mercedes-Benz GenH2 truck as part of their decarbonisation efforts. The GenH2 trucks maintain a payload of 25 tons, offering a range of up to 1,000 kilometers and quick refuelling times, making them suitable for long-haul transportation. The project involves 14 internal Amazon teams working to ensure its success. By testing the GenH2 truck, Amazon aims to gain practical experience in operating hydrogen fuel-cell-powered vehicles and contribute to the development of sustainable logistics. The company plans to support Daimler in the project's next phase as they continue toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Amazon is committed to investing, experimenting, and innovating in the transportation sector to reduce carbon emissions. The GenH2 project represents a significant step towards Amazon's Climate Pledge commitment, with the company emphasizing the importance of decarbonising its transport network to meet its sustainability goals and contribute to a greener future.
