Coke Canada Bottling will purchase six Volvo VNR Electric trucks as part of a pilot program to reach its target of decreasing carbon emissions from supplied energy and direct sources by 46.2% by 2030.
The first Class 8 battery-electric trucks, which will be among the beverage distributor’s fleet of 650 heavy-duty vehicles, will be used to serve clients all across the Greater Montreal Region.
The six Volvo VNR Electric trucks will be delivered to Coke Canada Bottling throughout 2023.
Coke Canada Bottling operates several light-duty electric service vehicles around the Greater Montreal Area, and all trucks manufactured after 2012 run on B20 biofuel. Almost 1500 tons of carbon dioxide have already been saved because of these actions.
