FedEx Orders 2,000 Harbinger Electric Trucks, About $150,000 Each, by End of 2027

FedEx has ordered 2,000 electric trucks from Harbinger Motors in a deal valued at more than $300 million, Harbinger announced on September 30. Harbinger plans to deliver all of them by the end of 2027, TechCrunch reported.

What the Harbinger order is worth per truck

Divide $300 million by 2,000 and the order averages $150,000 per truck, a floor because the value is given as "over". Harbinger says the order is "a mix of models" from its lineup, so the price varies by chassis. The trucks go to pickup and delivery operations in the US and Canada, replacing an equal number of internal-combustion vehicles.

Electrek describes them as Class 5 and Class 6 box trucks. Harbinger's own lineup page lists a stripped chassis for Classes 4 to 6 with up to 210 miles of range.

The $800 million claim is a vendor estimate

Harbinger estimates each truck cuts fuel costs by about $20,000 a year against its diesel equivalent. Over a 20-year service life across 2,000 trucks, that is roughly $800 million, the figure in Electrek's headline. The arithmetic checks: 2,000 x $20,000 x 20 = $800 million.

Two caveats sit in the denominator. The saving is vendor-supplied, not audited by FedEx. And it is a fuel figure, which the sources do not net against electricity or charging equipment. Harbinger also estimates the fleet will avoid more than 1.7 million tons of CO2 over its life.

Can Harbinger build them in 15 months?

FedEx has already received 53 trucks from an earlier order placed alongside its late-2025 investment in Harbinger's $160 million Series C, per TechCrunch. That leaves roughly 1,950 to build, or about 130 a month from October 2026 through December 2027 if the 2,000 includes those 53; the sources do not say whether it does.

Harbinger was founded in 2022 and, per TechCrunch, has since bought Phantom AI for its autonomy software in February, moved into hybrid emergency vehicles and defence, and is reported to be exploring an IPO. A startup widening into that many lines is also being asked to ramp a single product to triple-digit monthly output.

John Harris, co-founder and chief executive of Harbinger, said in the announcement: "FedEx is demonstrating that the business case for incorporating electric vehicles into real-world fleet operations at scale makes sense." Electrek notes FedEx's target of a fully electric fleet by 2040.
