Suzano prepares two electric trucks to be piloted by women in São Paulo
Electricity is the future of transport. As the world battles to phase out fossil fuel cars, companies and governments that seek to get ahead of this trend will certainly be far ahead. With that in mind, Suzano will start using electric trucks to transport its papers.
The trucks used by Suzano have the capacity to reduce CO90 emissions by 2% compared to fossil fuel trucks.
The initiative is part of one of Suzano's long-term initiatives, which aims to capture 40 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by the year 2030. One of the company's actions to reduce emissão of carbon in the atmosphere, reducing the use of fossil fuel fuels.
The use of Suzano's two electric trucks is still only one pilot, however the company is already studying the possibility of increasing the fleet of electric vehicles.

Eduardo Botelho Lotti, who is Suzano's logistics executive manager, spoke a little more about Suzano's focus on sustainability: “Sustainability is part of our DNA and this action reinforces our commitment to care for the environment. We are advancing on this issue in our logistics, following the example of our manufacturing operations, we already capture more carbon than we emit and we believe that it is from a purpose of renewal that we will be able to build a better future”, he highlighted.
Furthermore, Suzano's first two electric trucks will be driven by women. The drivers will drive the trucks on the route between the Imigrantes Distribution Center, in São Bernardo, with distribution throughout greater São Paulo.
