The Central Bottling Company (CBC) Israel, the Israeli bottler of Coca-Cola products, has introduced its first electric truck into its distribution fleet. The 28-ton Renault Trucks vehicle will operate emission-free and more quietly, contributing to the company's gradual expansion of advanced propulsion solutions, which already include hybrid trucks and vehicles.
The new electric truck has a range of approximately 250 to 300 kilometers, with fast charging taking about an hour and a half. To support its operation, CBC Israel established fast-charging infrastructure for heavy vehicles and trained drivers. This initiative is part of CBC Israel's evaluation of integrating electric trucks more broadly into its fleet, examining their performance on various distribution routes, under different workloads, and within the charging system.
CBC Israel, a major food and beverage group in Israel established in 1968 as the exclusive licensee for Coca-Cola products, employs thousands across its facilities nationwide. The company has been operating hybrid trucks and commercial vehicles for several years, and the addition of the electric truck marks a significant step in exploring sustainable logistics.
