ConMet and ConMet eMobility are enabling the development of
zero-emission commercial vehicles, providing innovative technology for
the electrification of refrigerated trailers required for Sysco to
deliver food safely and efficiently.
“The commitment shown by Sysco with this facility is a prelude to a more
sustainable future for food delivery service. We’re honored to have the
ConMet eHubTM in-wheel motor system on Sysco trailers. By generating
electrical energy to power electric TRUs, trailer temperatures are
sustained for food safety purposes, whilst providing large diesel
savings to the fleet and significant emission reductions for the local
community,” said Marc Trahand, VP and General Manager of ConMet’s
eMobility division.
InCharge Energy and ABB E-mobility are supplying and preparing to
activate 40 Terra 124 DC fast chargers. Already tested for vehicle
interoperability and reliability, these stations will facilitate quick
and timely charging of all vehicles daily.
“As the leading fleet electrification provider, InCharge Energy
and ABB E-mobility are thrilled to play such an important role in
Sysco’s transition to electric transportation,” said Terry
O’Day, COO and Co-Founder of InCharge Energy. “Sysco’s
transportation electrification program will have a sizable impact on
carbon emissions. This project sets the stage for the increasing shift
to electric mobility in California, especially given the
EPA’s recent decision to allow California to accelerate its
transition from diesel to electric trucks. We look forward to seeing
what cleaner transportation will do for the beautiful Riverside
community and beyond.”
