The Tesla Semi is perhaps the most groundbreaking vehicle in the commercial industry in decades. In Sacramento, California, Pepsi is using 21 of them to help reach its sustainability goals.<\/p>\n
In a multi-year effort that aims to reduce the company’s carbon footprint, Pepsi is depending on the Semi<\/a>, battery forklifts, Ford eTransit vans, and other BEVs to help operate the full logistical load at its northern California plant.<\/p>\n “Battery electric vehicles are essential for us,” Amanda DeVoe, Pepsi’s Transformation and Strategy Director, said. “It’s really grounded in our duty cycle, i.e., how we use our assets because a good majority of our business is anchored in going to market, we deliver predominantly under 100 miles on a daily basis, and we run those vehicles around 12 hours a day.”<\/p>\n Tesla Semi Pepsico fleet ready to take on the road<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
