15 5월 2024 - 5:30AM
Today, Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY), the world’s largest food
distributor, celebrated the arrival of 10 heavy-duty electric
tractors to the fleet at its Houston, Texas operating site,
reaching a total of nearly 120 electric vehicles (EVs) globally.
This addition is a major step toward Sysco’s goal to reduce its
direct emissions by 27.5% by 2030.
In total, Sysco now has heavy-duty electric tractors in the
United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Sweden, including over
100 U.S.-based vehicles in Baltimore, MD; Boston, MA; Denver, CO;
Fremont, CA; Houston, TX; Long Island, NY; Los Angeles, CA; and
Riverside, CA. Sysco expects to receive additional EVs by the end
of June 2024, bringing the total number of EVs to over 130.
“We are proud of our progress to scale our electric truck fleet
and continue our journey to meet our climate goal,” said Neil
Russell, Chief Administrative Officer at Sysco. “This work is
important to many of our customers who have also set goals to
reduce emissions. Electrifying a portion of our fleet will help us
reduce our carbon footprint together while reducing noise pollution
and improving the day-to-day experience of our delivery partners.
We’re grateful to the numerous manufacturers, government officials
and community partners who collaborated with us to get to this
important moment.”
“The scale of our EV deployment today is the result of years of
planning and tremendous levels of cross-industry collaboration,”
said Dan Purefoy, Sysco’s Chief Supply Chain Officer. “I want to
thank my team for their expertise and leadership in building our
capabilities to deploy this new technology in our operations. We
appreciate all the colleagues across Sysco who have been a part of
this journey so far, as well as the board and executive team at
Sysco for supporting our vision of a lower carbon fleet.”
