Harbinger builds the electric chassis underneath medium-duty delivery vans and other work trucks; body specialists then turn those platforms into finished vehicles for fleet customers. The manufacturer said FedEx ordered 2,000 all-electric trucks worth more than $300 million for pickup-and-delivery operations in the United States and Canada.

The starting product is a Class 4-6 stripped chassis containing the battery, drivetrain, steering and brakes. After Harbinger assembles it, a dealer or customer works with a third party to add a commercial body. That workflow lets the same underlying platform become a walk-in van, box truck or another type of specialized vehicle.

Harbinger offers three wheelbases and several battery configurations, with advertised range extending to approximately 210 miles. The company markets its compact all-electric builds for daily urban routes under 100 miles, while larger versions accommodate longer routes and heavier payloads. FedEx’s order includes a mix of models from that all-electric lineup.

The manufacturing ramp is still relatively young. When Harbinger announced serial production in April 2025, it said it had made more than 100 units and had an order book of 4,690 vehicles valued at approximately $500 million. The FedEx program alone is therefore a much larger production assignment than Harbinger’s disclosed output at that earlier milestone.

Harbinger’s economic pitch rests on fuel costs. It estimates that each truck can save an average of $20,000 annually compared with the diesel vehicle it replaces, implying approximately $40 million a year across the FedEx order and $800 million over a typical 20-year service life. Those are company projections, not realized savings.

FedEx isn’t simply a first-time buyer: it previously deployed Harbinger vehicles and co-led the manufacturer’s $160 million Series C. Harbinger says the new order expands that relationship and plans to build and deliver all 2,000 vehicles by the end of 2027.
