Eight zero-emission heavy duty trucks to serve Vancouver Island customers
One of country's largest food distributors is launching its first Canadian fleet of non-emitting vehicles on Vancouver Island.
“This work is important for us to deliver clean air for our communities, quieter deliveries for our customers and a better driving experience for our delivery workers," Sysco's B.C. region president Bill Harasymchuk said. The 18-wheeler-style trucks require little maintenance and will recharge at Sysco's Langford yard overnight. Russell said Sysco data shows their other electric trucks are leaving in the morning with a 90 per cent charge and return after an a full shift with about 60 per cent of their power remaining. He added their drivers also enjoy how quiet and smooth the vehicles are.
"To see the leadership that Sysco and all of you are taking here, it gives me hope that we can turn things around, because there is only one planet," he said.
