Foodservice distributor Sysco Corp. said it intends to buy and
deploy up to nearly 800 electric trucks from Daimler Truck North
America by 2026 as it seeks to hit its goal to electrify 35% of its
U.S. fleet and reduce direct carbon emissions by almost 28% by
2030.
Sysco said the trucks will be the battery electric Freightliner
eCascadia Class 8 tractors, and the first is expected to arrive at
Sysco's Riverside, Calif., site later this year.
"Sysco is committed to making meaningful investments to support
achievement of our climate goals, including those that encourage
the development of electric tractors and trailers," Sysco Chief
Supply Chain Officer Marie Robinson said.
