FedEx places $300 million order for 2,000 Harbinger electric trucks
The shipment will be the largest bulk purchase for the EV startup, which already supplied 53 trucks to FedEx.
By Felo News Desk · Published
FedEx announced a $300 million contract to purchase 2,000 electric medium‑duty trucks from EV startup Harbinger, with deliveries scheduled through the end of next year, TechCrunch reported.
What happened
Harbinger, founded in 2022 by former Anduril, Canoo, and Quantumscape employees, said it will fulfill the entire order by the end of 2027. The company has already delivered 53 trucks to FedEx as part of a prior order linked to a $160 million Series C funding round it led late last year.
What the reports add
TechCrunch noted that the order is Harbinger’s largest bulk sale to date and that the startup is expanding into hybrid emergency vehicles, autonomous‑driving technology, and battery‑pack energy storage. It also referenced an Axios report from May indicating Harbinger is considering an IPO.
What was said
Harbinger told TechCrunch that it will deliver all 2,000 trucks by the end of next year. Bloomberg News was cited as the first outlet to break the news on Wednesday morning.
How it came about
FedEx led a $160 million Series C round for Harbinger late in 2025, positioning the logistics giant as a key early customer. The new order builds on that partnership and reflects growing demand for electric commercial vehicles in the freight sector.
