Amazon UK deploys full-BEV HGVs for its logistics fleet

Sorry for linking to Amazon's on PR, but the good news is they've deployed 5x full BEV HGVs.
They're DAF tractors, with another 4 coming this year, alongside the 1000 EV "last mile" delivery vans they already have.

They're set up to use 360kW DC charging.

There is nothing about their range. I guess using them out of their Milton Keynes and Tilbury depots mean they will predominately being operated on short routes, which makes sense.

I am seeing lots of their EV delivery vans around London.

Info here on range giving a useable battery size of 315kWh and a range of 137 miles, which seems reasonable. [155 miles for the lighter rigid truck.]

DAF CF Electric
8.7kWp PV [2.12kWp SSW + 4.61kWp ESE PV + 2.0kWp WNW PV]
Two BEV's.
Two small A2A heatpumps.
