Medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles are hitting the road in 2025, and we’ve collected last month’s most exciting news. After another [record year](https://blogs.edf.org/energyexchange/2024/11/19/2024-was-another-record-year-for-electric-truck-deployments-proving-that-the-shift-to-zero-emission-is-not-slowing-down/) of zero-emission truck deployments in 2024, this year promises more big announcements. This monthly blog series will showcase the biggest orders and deployments of zero-emission trucks happening around the country.

**FedEx invests in Harbinger, places electric truck order**

FedEx has [placed](https://esgnews.com/fedex-backs-harbinger-with-160-million-to-scale-us-electric-truck-fleet/) an order for 53 Class 5 and 6 electric trucks from startup Harbinger. The medium-duty trucks are expected to be delivered for final upfitting by the end of 2025. Harbinger seeks to fill a niche in the medium-duty trucks market by offering vertical integration strategies rather than retrofitting existing medium-duty chassis, keeping purchase costs close to those of similar diesel models. FedEx has a goal to electrify its entire pickup and delivery fleet by 2040.

**TARTA introduces 11 electric buses as part of zero-emission initiative**

The Toledo Area Regional Transportation Authority [introduced](https://www.13abc.com/2025/11/19/tarta-introduces-11-electric-buses-part-zero-emission-initiative/) 11 new electric buses as part of their TARTA Zero initiative. The organization is aiming to have all electric vehicles by 2040. TARTA deployed six para-transit vehicles last year and is excited about continued progress towards their zero-emission goal. The buses offer increased reliability and lifespan, with additional benefits like air quality improvements and noise reduction.

Now is a critical time for fleets to invest in medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks. These vehicles improve public health and help combat the climate crisis by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Unlike traditional diesel-powered trucks, electric trucks produce no tailpipe emissions, which significantly cuts down on health-harming pollution. Adoption represents a key step toward a more sustainable and resilient transportation industry.
