In a collaboration between Tesla and PepsiCo, Elon Musk’s EV giant has remodeled its Semi trucks, integrating the Pepsi logo. This signifies a deeper union, adapting Tesla's design to PepsiCo’s branding and operational needs as they transition their fleet to sustainable electric vehicles.
According to The Street, Tesla delivered the first batch of its Semi electric trucks in December 2022. The vehicles can run from about 300 to 500 miles and can be charged up to 70% in just 30 minutes.
The Austin, Texas-based automotive firm said that one of its electric Semi trucks could generate more or less $200,000 in fuel savings over the course of three years. And today, some of these trucks feature the PepsiCo logo now. It was clearly made for the beverage firm, which is one of the first groups to have teamed up with Tesla to upgrade its delivery fleet to electric vehicles.
The publication mentioned that Tesla's goal for making EVs is to speed up the development of sustainable modes of transport by bringing electric vehicles to the mass market as soon as possible. To do this, the company has been developing and introducing new eco-friendly transport options to the freight industry.
"To accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass-market electric cars to market as soon as possible," Amanda Devoe, the information and strategy director of PepsiCo's fleet, said in a video that was published by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE).
She added, "Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are essential for us. A good majority of our business is anchored in going to market, we deliver predominantly under 100 miles on a daily basis and run those vehicles around 12 hours a day. We feel the battery electric vehicle is most advantageous in our decarbonization strategy."
As outlined in The Driven, PepsiCo and Tesla's cooperation includes these important facts: PepsiCo's fleet of Semis now numbers to 21 units, and three of them have dedicated long-haul routes that can cover 400 to 720 kilometers.
Moreover, some of the electric Semi trucks have delivered an efficiency of below 1.7kWh a mile or 1.1kWh per kilometer. Most of the units were used to deliver goods within 100 miles distance. The Semis are mostly at PepsiCo's Sacramento facility, where four 750 kW DC chargers were installed. Charging times can range from 10% to 90% in 20 to 30 minutes.
