The online retail giant has several dozen line-haul partners across Europe, many of which serve a number of countries, not just the UK. And across Europe, Amazon’s line-haul partners use thousands of trucks and thousands of trailers.

An Amazon spokesman said: “Amazon has taken delivery of forty double-deck trailers that will be used by our line-haul partners for distributing items between our fulfilment centres and delivery stations across the UK.

“The trailers will support partners by providing additional capacity and flexibility to Amazon’s UK line-haul operations, ensuring that customers continue to receive a first rate level of service.”
