Volvo’s Class 8 electric trucks have quietly (very quietly!) passed a major milestone: 10 million zero-tailpipe emission miles in customer operation, hauling everything from soda pop to power tools. In this session, go behind the scenes with two very different fleets that are putting these electric trucks to work. Home Hardware will share how they're using their VNR Electric trucks to move goods from their head office to dealer-owned retail stores and regional distribution centres. And Coke Canada returns to the stage to talk about their battery-electric trucks that have now been delivering to customers for over a year. These are real-world lessons in action: what’s working, what's not (along with the fixes) and what it takes to keep the wheels turning on zero-emissions freight.
