HIVED expands electric parcel delivery network with 11 new eActros

All-electric parcel delivery company HIVED has placed an order for 11 Mercedes-Benz eActros, recently voted International Truck of the Year 2025, as it expands the UK’s only end-to-end electric delivery network, covering middle and final mile.

HIVED has ordered nine eActros 600 and two eActros 400 trucks. They will operate across HIVED’s nationwide middle mile network, collecting from retailer warehouses for delivery to end customers.

The eActros 600 is the perfect choice for HIVED’s middle mile deliveries as its large battery capacity of over 600kWh means it can travel at least 500km on a single charge.

In the next year, HIVED plans to install megawatt chargers, a rarity for the UK charging infrastructure, at its hubs in West London, the Midlands and Manchester. It’s claimed that these megawatt chargers will allow the eActros 600 to charge from 20 to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes and, in effect, level the playing field between diesel and electric HGVs.

HIVED co-founder and chief product officer, Mathias Krieger commented: “This is a major moment for the logistics industry. In an industry where the status quo is to run a mixed fleet at best, HIVED is the first delivery company to operate an all-electric delivery network across the middle and final delivery mile. With the eActros, HIVED continues to redefine what a modern delivery company looks like with our expanded electric middle mile capacity.”
