Sysco Corporation and Daimler Truck North America jointly announced a letter of intent to deploy up to nearly 800 battery-electric Freightliner eCascadia Class 8 tractors serving Sysco customers by 2026. The first eCascadia delivery is expected to arrive at Sysco’s Riverside, California site later this year.
Sysco says it aims to power more of its tractor fleet with alternative fuels. DTNA recently unveiled its all-electric Freightliner eCascadia at ACT Expo.
