Tesla announced a partnership with Pepsi for electrick trucks - the Tesla Semi. Ahead of the release, Coca-Cola is operating with its battery-powered Renault trucks. Coca-Cola manages to become the first soft drinks giant to bet on a green-friendly fleet of trucks. Pepsi, on the other hand, will begin the delivery operations with the Tesla Semi on December 1.
The Renault Trucks used by Coca-Cola
The Renault trucks that Coca-Cola will operate in Belgium. The trucks have a shorter range than the Tesla Semi. They will work on last-mile deliveries by Coke. The model was custom-design to suit Coca-Cola's needs. The trucks provide energy efficiency, comfort, and safety for drivers. They also come with 360-degree camera systems to get rid of blind spots. There is also a clear door on the passenger side, and a loudspeaker to warn.
The "Coca-Cola Trucks" have a range of 200 Km on a single charge. It's a major achievement over the 150 Km average route for diesel delivery trucks. The trucks can be charged overnight from dedicated piles using green energy for the top-ups.
Renault is expanding the public charging in Europe. With the aid of local partners, the company wants to deliver a true competitor for the Tesla Semi in 2023. The deal with Coca-Cola will try to convince more customers. However, despite the trolling, these rigs will have a hard task. The Tesla Semi will have a much longer range.
Electric Trucks are already a thing, but some companies are having trouble.
