CBC Israel, the Central Company for the Production of Soft Drinks, has introduced its first electric truck into its distribution fleet. The 28-ton Renault Trucks vehicle will transport beverages with zero tailpipe emissions and operate more quietly than traditional trucks. The 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 move is part of the company's gradual expansion of advanced propulsion solutions, complementing its existing fleet of hybrid trucks and vehicles. The introduction of the electric truck will allow CBC Israel to evaluate its performance on various delivery routes, under different workloads, and within its charging system, as it considers further expanding its use of electric trucks. The company has been using hybrid trucks and commercial vehicles for several years.
