Ambev’s Idea Is to Modernize Its Entire Old Fleet of Diesel-Powered Vehicles to Electric Trucks

Ambev, owner of brands such as Skol, Brahma, Antarctica, and Guaraná, announced that by 2023 it will use 1,600 electric trucks from Volkswagen Trucks and Buses for beverage transportation. With the partnership, about 35% of the fleet serving the brewery will be composed of vehicles powered by clean energy, avoiding the emission of more than 30,400 tons of carbon in its logistics chain per year.

Ambev’s Partnership for Electric Truck Production

Ambev’s partnership is a milestone in the history of both companies: it is the largest announcement of its kind ever made in the world. The teamwork for electric truck production represents an important step towards a future less dependent on fossil fuels and aims to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the fleet serving Ambev Brewery. Between 2014 and 2017, the company already reduced its index by 33.9%.

“Our dream is to unite people for a better world. That’s why we are always looking for partners engaged in the same causes to offer new technologies and processes that positively impact the environment, like Volkswagen Trucks and Buses. We are sure that this project will greatly contribute to building the sustainable legacy we want to leave for future generations,” says Guilherme Gaia, Logistics and Supply Director of Ambev.

The electric truck solution aligns with VW Truck & Bus’s policy of developing and promoting clean technologies, as Volkswagen Trucks and Buses is part of this group.

“The global development center of Volkswagen Trucks and Buses, based in Brazil, researched and applied the best available solutions worldwide and locally to meet our customers’ needs for low-emission vehicles for emerging countries. Thanks to our 20-year partnership with Ambev, we were the first to develop commercial vehicles for beverage distribution. And now, once again, we are running together to enter the electric era,” emphasizes Roberto Cortes, president of VW Trucks and Buses, manufacturer of the Volkswagen Trucks and Buses and MAN brands.
