In March 2009, Coca-Cola Enterprises ordered 150 Kenworth T370 diesel-electric tractors and 35 Kenworth T370 hybrid trucks, all of which will be on the road this year. The Kenworth T370 tractors (rated at 55,000 lb. GCW) are the largest hybrid delivery truck on the road in North America. (Earlier post.)

The trucks use about 30% less fuel and produce about 30% fewer emissions than standard tractors. Over the next month, these first-of-their kind vehicles will be deployed across five cities - Vancouver, London, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. The hybrid tractors will be manufactured in Sainte-Therese, Quebec by the Kenworth division of Paccar.

The expansion of our hybrid truck fleet across North America is a critical component of our commitment to reduce our overall carbon footprint by 15 percent by the year 2020.

—John Brock, Chairman and CEO, Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.
