Loblaw unveils first fully electric Class 8 truck for zero-carbon deliveries
As part of its commitment to reduce its carbon footprint 30% by 2030, Loblaw has committed to reduce the intensity of transportation emissions to 0.087 gCO2 e/t-km.
Loblaw Cos. Ltd., Canada, unveiled a 53-foot, fully electric Class 8 truck, capable of making commercial grocery deliveries with zero-carbon emissions.
What is dubbed as the first-of-its-kind truck marks an important step, as Loblaw announced its commitment to move its corporately-owned trucking fleet to electric vehicles. The truck was manufactured by BYD, a China-based manufacturer of electric vehicles.
