Print ArticleAtlanta: Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. is adding five hybrid-electric trucks to its distribution center in the Bronx.
Currently, Coca-Cola Enterprises has two hybrid trucks in the Bronx facility, with three additional trucks scheduled for deployment in December. The five Bronx trucks represent the largest CCE hybrid-electric fleet of any city in the U.S.
Coca-Cola Enterprises said its Bronx sales center has a total of 90 trucks serving 8,700 customers in Manhattan and the Bronx, delivering more than 8 million cases of products annually. The hybrid-electric trucks use 32 percent less fuel than standard trucks and use technology to eliminate emissions when idling or in traffic.
Over the next year, another 120 hybrid-electric trucks are slated join Coca-Cola Enterprises' fleet across the country.
