Sysco Adds Electric Tractors

Sysco Corporation, a food distributor, announced the arrival of eight heavy-duty electric tractors to its fleet in Victoria, which serves over 1,500 customers including restaurants, healthcare and education customers. 

The company now has over 130 heavy-duty electric tractors globally across the U.S., U.K., Canada and Sweden.

“We are excited to scale our electric truck fleet into Canada and continue our journey to meet our climate goal of reducing emissions across the enterprise. One component of our climate goal is electrifying a portion of our fleet, and our partnership with the Government of Canada, the Government of British Columbia and BC Hydro is key to helping us achieve this,” says Neil Russell, Sysco’s Chief Administrative Officer, in a statement. “Electric tractors produce zero tailpipe emissions which is good for the environment and important for our customers who want to do business with a responsible foodservice distributor.”
