A fleet of Syngenta Canada electric trucks will roll through southern Ontario in 2024 delivering crop protection and seed products with zero CO2 emissions. Working in collaboration with supply chain partner Future Transfer, Syngenta Canada will debut three electric trucks – marking a sustainability win and an industry first.
“By adding electric trucks to our logistics transportation fleet, Syngenta Canada will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 25,000 kg each year. This is equal to removing eight passenger vehicles from the road,” says Jose Nucci, head, production and supply, Syngenta Canada. “As the first agricultural company in Canada to add electric trucks to its fleet, we’re literally driving change and enabling Syngenta Canada to serve customers in a more sustainable way.”
Electric trucks significantly reduce CO2 emissions, and when compared to diesel, provide upwards of 90 per cent reduction. Delivering on the company’s commitment to sustainability, the distribution of crop protection and seed products using electric trucks will begin in 2024 with routes departing from Future Transfer’s Tillsonburg, Ontario sites.
