the end of this year, a total of 18 cities and surrounding areas across the US will receive some of their favourite snacks in fully-electric delivery trucks.
Electric trucks reduce fuel consumption, noise pollution and CO2 emissions, compared to traditional delivery trucks. In total, Frito-Lay is deploying 176 electric trucks this year in the US and Canada.
Mike O’Connell, senior director of fleet for Frito-Lay North America, said: “The electric vehicle program builds on a long-standing commitment by Frito-Lay North America and its parent company PepsiCo to environmental sustainability. With the seventh largest privately owned fleet in the US, we have set a goal of becoming the most fuel efficient fleet in the country, and these vehicles give us an opportunity to use the latest advances in transportation technology as a significant way to reduce our environmental impact.”
