The updated vans will be ready across the US by year’s end.
Coca-Cola currently operates the largest heavy-duty hybrid-electric delivery fleet in North America. The addition of 100 hybrid service vans builds upon this work by expanding the variety of fuel-efficient options in the Company’s light-duty fleet.
“Adoption of this hybrid technology supports Coca-Cola’s goal to reduce the carbon footprint embedded in ‘the drink in your hand’ by 25% by 2020,” said Bruce Karas, vice president of environment and sustainability for Coca-Cola. “We continue to make energy-saving investments because they are good for business, good for the communities we serve and good for the planet.”
In addition to the hybrid service vans, Coca-Cola recently announced the rollout of 16 refrigerated plug-in electric vehicles. These trucks deliver the company’s Odwalla brand beverages in the San Francisco Bay Area.
