A new fleet of electric lorries has been brought in to move shipments between the East and West Midlands.
Freight tech company Einride is operating the shuttles between Coventry and Walkers’ home city of Leicester. Over the initial three year partnership it is hoped the electric trucks will replace 750,000 miles of journeys which would previously have been covered using fossil fuel.
That shift will help cut the equivalent of 1,623 tonnes of CO2 emissions – and help Walkers’ parent company PepsiCo towards its goal of net zero emissions by 2040.
