Coke Canada grows electric vehicle fleet

Coca-Cola Canada Bottling expands its Volvo VNR Electric fleet across Canada.

The company adds three new electric trucks in Quebec City, Que., with four more set for delivery this spring in Vancouver, bringing Coke Canada’s national fleet of electric vehicles to nearly 40.

“As we grow our family-owned business, we are committed to responsibly managing our environmental footprint,” says Tony Chow, president of Coke Canada Bottling. “This expansion marks an exciting evolution for our growing fleet of electric vehicles. We’re pleased to be adding seven new Volvo trucks to service our customers across the Lower Mainland and the Quebec City region. This is one of the ways we’re taking action to reduce carbon emissions across our business while continuing to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers.”

Building on its pilot program launched in 2023 in Montreal, Coke Canada Bottling’s electric fleet includes vans, on road trucks and yard tractors. The Volvo VNR Electric trucks support local and regional delivery routes.

The battery-electric fleet features a six-battery configuration that can cover up to 440 km on a single charge. To support this expansion, Coke Canada Bottling installed one 180kw Heliox Flex charger in Quebec City with three dispensers and two 180kw Heliox Flex chargers with six dispensers in Vancouver.
