In September, Coke Canada Bottling launched a pilot program by introducing six Volvo VNR Electric trucks to its Red Fleet of 850 heavy-duty trucks that service customer delivery routes in the Greater Montreal area. According to Volvo, its VNR Electric trucks have a six-battery configuration with a capacity of 565 kWh and a range of up to 275 miles. Coke Canada has installed three 150 kW DC chargers with nine dispensers at its Montreal Distribution Center for drive-through charging.

The company has set a goal of reducing carbon emissions from direct sources and supplied energy by 46.2% by 2030, and has taken such measures as electrification of light-duty service vehicles and use of alternative fuel sources.
