Coca-Cola Distributor Orders Hybrid Trucks

2/28/2008
Coca-Cola Enterprises is buying 120 new trucks this year powered by Eaton's hybrid electric drivetrain systems.

The order from the world's largest marketer, producer and distributor of Coca-Cola products represents the largest North American commercial order to date for Eaton's hybrid systems. It follows the beverage company's purchase of 20 trucks with Eaton hybrid power systems in 2007.

Extensive testing and evaluations conducted by Coca-Cola Enterprises found that Eaton's hybrid-electric drivetrain equipped trucks decreased emissions by roughly 32 percent and fuel consumption by up to 37 percent as compared to conventionally powered trucks in Coca-Cola's current fleet. Coca-Cola also reported lower maintenance costs on the hybrid-powered trucks.
