Coke Canada Bottling Expands Electric Fleet with Volvo VNR Trucks Across Canada
Coke Canada Bottling has significantly increased its fleet of Volvo VNR Electric trucks across Canada. The company has recently added three new electric trucks in Quebec City and plans to deliver four more in Vancouver this spring. With these additions, Coke Canada Bottling now has nearly 40 electric vehicles in its national fleet, demonstrating its commitment to reducing carbon emissions while meeting customer demands.
Tony Chow, the president of Coke Canada Bottling, emphasized the company's dedication to managing its environmental impact responsibly. The expansion of the electric vehicle fleet signifies a positive step forward for the business, with seven new Volvo trucks being added to serve customers in the Lower Mainland and Quebec City region. This initiative aligns with the company's goal of reducing carbon emissions while exceeding customer expectations.
Starting from a pilot program launched in Montreal in 2023, Coke Canada Bottling's electric fleet includes vans, on-road trucks, and yard tractors. The Volvo VNR Electric trucks are specifically designed for local and regional delivery routes, where their battery-electric technology is well-suited due to predictable operations. These trucks offer a range that supports urban and regional distribution, enabling fleets to incorporate zero-tailpipe emissions vehicles into their daily operations without compromising performance and reliability.
To facilitate charging for the expanded electric fleet, Coke Canada Bottling has installed Heliox Flex chargers in Quebec City and Vancouver. The company's 'Red Fleet' expansion reflects a strategic approach based on real-world performance, working closely with Volvo Trucks to enhance its electric operations gradually.
