06 September 2024 - 12:00AM
Today, Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY), the world’s largest food
distributor, celebrated the arrival of 8 heavy-duty electric
tractors to their fleet in Victoria, which serves over 1,500
customers including restaurants, healthcare and education
customers. In total, Sysco now has over 130 heavy-duty electric
tractors globally across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom
and Sweden.
“We are excited to scale our electric truck fleet into Canada
and continue our journey to meet our climate goal of reducing
emissions across the enterprise. One component of our climate goal
is electrifying a portion of our fleet, and our partnership with
the Government of Canada, the Government of British Columbia and BC
Hydro is key to helping us achieve this,” says Neil Russell,
Sysco’s Chief Administrative Officer. “Electric tractors produce
zero tailpipe emissions which is good for the environment and
important for our customers who want to do business with a
responsible foodservice distributor.”
Sysco Canada hosted an event at their distribution center in
Victoria during National Trucking Week to celebrate this milestone
with leadership, colleagues, government officials, and vendor
partners.
