Frito-Lay BEV Delivery Trucks on the Streets of Columbus

Frito-Lay began rolling out some of its fully electric delivery trucks in Columbus, OH yesterday. The ten electric delivery trucks are part of a larger fleet of commercial all-electric trucks planned for North America. This year, Columbus, New York City and Ft. Worth, Texas are three cities set to receive their favorite snacks by fully-electric delivery trucks. Electric trucks reduce fuel consumption, noise pollution and overall emissions, compared to traditional diesel delivery trucks. In total, Frito-Lay will be deploying 21 electric trucks in the U.S. and Canada by the end of the year. The company projects it will roll out 155 additional BEV trucks in 2011, making Frito-Lay the largest commercial fleet of all-electric trucks in North America.
