The Central Bottling Company (CBC) Israel, the exclusive licensee for Coca-Cola products in the country, has introduced its first electric truck into its distribution fleet. The 28-ton Renault Trucks vehicle is designed to operate with zero tailpipe emissions and a quieter ride, aiming to reduce the company's environmental impact.
The new electric truck has a range of approximately 250 to 300 kilometers on a single charge, with fast charging taking about an hour and a half. To support its operation, CBC Israel has established fast-charging infrastructure for heavy vehicles and trained drivers. This initiative is part of a broader, gradual expansion of advanced propulsion solutions within the company's logistics, which already includes hybrid trucks and vehicles.
CBC Israel, a major food and beverage group in the Israeli market since its establishment in 1968, is controlled by businessman Dudi Wertheim and his family. The company employs thousands across its facilities nationwide. The introduction of the electric truck will allow CBC Israel to assess its integration into various delivery routes, workload capacities, and charging systems, as it considers further expanding its use of electric trucks in the future.
