Bunzl Accelerates Sustainability with Electric Vehicles
2024年8月2日 - 2:23AM
Bunzl Canada (bunzlcanada.ca) announced today the company’s first
electric-powered transport truck for Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene’s
delivery routes in Toronto. The vehicle will not only reduce
greenhouse gas emissions but will also reduce engine noise.
The new delivery truck was designed and
manufactured by The Lion Electric Company, a leading manufacturer
of all-electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The lightweight,
aerodynamic, 100% electric heavy-duty model is perfectly suited for
last-mile urban delivery.
“We selected the Lion 6 specifically for its
efficiency, sustainability, and exceptional handling in urban
settings” said Tim McKinnon, Vice President, Operations at Bunzl
Canada. “This new technology will reduce emissions on some of our
busiest routes in the Greater Toronto Area.”
Sustainability continues to be a key corporate
focus for Bunzl Canada in both its operations and the products it
supplies. The company will also soon introduce electric vehicles on
its urban delivery routes in Vancouver.
“This is just one of many high priority initiatives
designed to reduce our company’s environmental footprint, and help
our customers do the same,” said Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene’s Sr.
Vice President, Brock Tully. “From LED lighting retrofits in our
facilities across the country to new product innovations, we
continue to source environmentally preferable alternatives and
technology through strategic partnerships in Canada and around the
world.”
