Burger King Transitions Nearly One Third of Fleet to EVs
Burger King transitioned 31% of its North American field team fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) across 16 states with a goal of 100% EVs by 2030.
This move is the next step in delivering on Restaurant Brands International’s (parent company of Burger King) science-based targets for reducing GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, versus a 2019 baseline.
The field team is critical to the brand’s success as the first line of local support for Franchisees since it’s located in various states across the U.S. and travels to restaurants to provide service to BK Franchisees, with tens of thousands of miles driven each month.
“Franchisee success is the end goal of everything our field team does, and restaurant visits are critical to this partnership,” said Jeromy Gwin, BK Corporate Franchise Business Partner in a statement. “I’m proud to work for a company that allows me to do my job in a more sustainable way.”
Burger King worked with Element Fleet Management, an automotive fleet manager, to source the EVs and launch the program.
