The Pepsi Company highlighted its new fleet of 18 Tesla semi-trucks at its Sacramento facility, which would build on its sustainability efforts, like the use of solar and renewable water.
The company said the partnership with Tesla was made possible because of a grant provided by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District.
PepsiCo’s chief sustainability officer, Todd Squarek, says the move is critical for them to achieve pretty aggressive goals to decarbonize their business
It includes decarbonizing almost 40 percent of its fleet decarbonized by 2040.
According to Pepsi, a single Tesla semi-truck can drive 400 miles on a one-hour charge and the trucks can reduce greenhouse emissions equal to 302 passenger cars each year.
