Tesco’s Electric Leap – What It Means for the Future of Fleet Logistics
In this episode of Plugged In by ZeroMission, we break down Tesco’s landmark order of 750 MAXUS eDELIVER 9s, the largest single electric fleet order ever placed in the UK.
The ZeroMission FleetOps360° Fleet Modernisation team explore what this milestone means for logistics operators everywhere. From operational readiness and vehicle performance to charging strategies and scaling electrification, we unpack how Tesco’s bold move gives reassurance to every fleet in transition.
“This isn’t just about vans, it’s about vision, data, and the power of partnership,”
Tune in as we discuss:
• How Tesco and MAXUS built a trusted EV partnership since 2019
• Why the eDELIVER 9 sets a new standard for electric fleet capability
• What lessons other logistics operators can take from this transition
• How data-driven planning can accelerate your own fleet modernisation journey
ZeroMission, powering the future of sustainable transport, one fleet at a time.

In a landmark moment for the UK’s logistics and retail sectors, Tesco has placed an order for 750 MAXUS eDELIVER 9s, the largest single electric vehicle order to date for Harris MAXUS UK. This isn’t just great news for Tesco and MAXUS, it’s a defining statement for every fleet currently navigating the transition to zero-emission operations.
For those in the midst of electrification planning, this announcement is reassurance in motion. It proves that large-scale, electric-powered delivery fleets aren’t a distant goal, they’re an operational reality.
“Our electric home delivery fleet is an important part of our journey to carbon neutrality,” 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.”
At ZeroMission, we see this as a pivotal example of fleet modernisation done right, where data, design, and delivery align. Tesco’s journey with MAXUS began in 2019 with a single electric concept vehicle, evolving into a robust, proven partnership. It demonstrates how early pilots and real-world testing can scale into a commercially and operationally viable electric fleet.
The eDELIVER 9’s combination of range (up to 219 miles WLTP), rapid charging (80% in 45 minutes), and flexible chassis options makes it an ideal backbone for home delivery operations. With refrigeration systems from Solomon, Thermo King, and GAH, Tesco’s new EV fleet is not only greener but just as capable as its diesel predecessors.
For other logistics companies in transition, this order sends a strong message:
• The technology is ready.
• The infrastructure is scaling.
• And the operational results are speaking for themselves.
At ZeroMission, we help fleets make that leap with confidence, from feasibility studies and depot charging strategies to predictive energy modelling and grant navigation.
Tesco’s announcement shows what’s possible when data-driven decisions meet long-term sustainability goals. It’s not just about electric vans; it’s about rethinking logistics from the ground up.
The takeaway?
Electric logistics isn’t coming, it’s already here. Those who plan smart, collaborate deeply, and leverage real-world data will lead the charge into a cleaner, more intelligent transport future.
