Tesco has placed an order for 750 Maxus eDeliver 9 fully electric vans, marking the largest single electric vehicle order to date for Harris Maxus UK. The new fleet will begin arriving in February 2026, expanding on the 232 units already integrated into Tesco’s home delivery network earlier this year.
The latest order involves the chassis cab version of the eDeliver 9, which will be fitted with refrigeration units supplied by Thermo King and GAH. The vehicles will serve Tesco’s grocery delivery operations, providing zero-emission last-mile logistics as the retailer continues its transition toward a fully electric fleet.

Powered by a 150 kW electric motor and a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Maxus eDeliver 9 offers a WLTP range of up to 219 miles and a top speed of 56 mph. The vehicle has a gross weight of 4.25 tonnes and can carry payloads up to 1.9 tonnes, with a towing capacity of 2 tonnes. Fast charging at up to 120 kW enables an 80% recharge in approximately 45 minutes, minimizing downtime for fleet operators.
“Our electric home delivery fleet is an important part of our journey to carbon neutrality across our operations,” said Rob Smallwood, Tesco Fleet Services Operations Manager. “Placing this order with Harris Maxus UK will help us on our journey to operating a fully electric home delivery fleet by 2030.”

Bill Laidlaw, UK Sales Director for Harris Maxus UK, welcomed the continued partnership. “We are fully committed to supporting Tesco as it works towards its goal of establishing its zero-emissions fleet,” he said. “Our eDeliver 9 has consistently demonstrated its capability to meet Tesco’s operational needs, delivering a productive and reliable solution since 2019.”
The order reinforces Tesco’s broader decarbonisation strategy and follows the supermarket’s milestone in October 2025, when it celebrated deploying its 1,000th electric vehicle — also a Maxus model — used for home deliveries in Cardiff, Wales.
