To Expand Its Fleet, Contributing Sustainably, Budweiser Closes Deal With Chinese BYD for the Purchase of 30 Electric Trucks

Budweiser will purchase about 30 electric trucks of the BYD Q3 model to be used in major Chinese cities where its breweries are located, for logistics operations. To this end, Budweiser and the Chinese BYD signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The goal is to transport beverages with zero gas emissions, using electric technology for transportation. In addition, BYD and Budweiser aim to set a strong example for other multinational companies to create initiatives and partnerships focused on the environment and sustainable development.

Advantages of Electric Trucks

The arrival of these models in the market has brought various positive changes, in addition to the low environmental impact. One example of these advantages is the high efficiency of electric truck motors in converting electric energy into movement, allowing for longer distances traveled with lower energy consumption along the route.

This advantage greatly benefits those freight drivers and fleet managers who take long trips with few stops. With proper maintenance, it is possible to maintain efficiency for a large part of the truck’s useful life.

The notion that battery-powered heavy trucks cannot compete with diesel is being challenged by new research. A new study claims that if fast charging networks are built for trucks, they could surpass diesel in terms of cost.
With fast charging, the larger the vehicle, the greater the advantage of electric, the researchers say.

In the UK and worldwide, there is a strong shift among consumers towards electric cars. March figures in the UK show that battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle sales reached 14% of the market. When it comes to pure electric vehicles, Western Europe is the global hotspot, with over 700,000 battery-powered cars sold in 2020.

About the Companies

The AB Inbev business, owner of the Budweiser, Stella Artois brands, and Ambev in Brazil, spans about 50 countries as a leading global brewery, and the Chinese area is where the company enjoys considerable popularity.

Budweiser China began using electric vehicles from the Chinese manufacturer in its operations 3 years ago to transport goods in Foshan, where its factory is located. In 2019, the Chinese manufacturer delivered 21 electric trucks to AB Inbev, aiming to assemble the largest fleet of these electrics in North America.

The Chinese manufacturer, BYD, is a global leader in electric vehicles and started developing trucks in 2012, becoming the first manufacturer to invest in R&D for these vehicles on a global scale. By then, it had already delivered over 13,000 trucks in various countries such as the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Australia.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Government wants to pay up to R$ 8,000 to more than 2,300 traditional families in over 100 communities in Acre and Amazonas for environmental services provided to the Amazon.

Brazilian family creates machine that transforms seawater into fresh water, produces up to 130 liters per hour, facilitates routine on vessels, and boosts family business along the country’s coast.

Between Egypt and Sudan, Bir Tawil is no man’s land that neither country wants on paper, but in practice has gold mining, nomadic tribes, and even fake “kings.”

Keeping your foot lightly on the brake pedal while driving may seem harmless, but mechanics warn: this habit generates constant heat, wears out the pads too quickly, and can warp the discs, making braking expensive and dangerous.
