Seara invests R$13.5 million to expand fleet of electric trucks

According to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), battery electric trucks (BEVs) reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 63% compared to conventional diesel vehicles.

Seara announced that it has invested R$13.5 million to expand its fleet of 100% electric trucks to 221 vehicles. Starting in November, the new zero-emission trucks will be in daily circulation in São Paulo and the Metropolitan Region, contributing to the reduction of the company's carbon footprint.

By incorporating more electric trucks, the brand is strengthening its sustainability strategy. "Each electric vehicle in circulation eliminates 1.03 tons of carbon from the atmosphere each month. As a result, our fleet in the country prevents the emission of more than 227 tons of carbon per month, which represents a reduction of more than 2,700 tons annually", says Fabio Artifon, Logistics Director at Seara, a JBS company.

According to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), battery-electric trucks (BEVs) reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 63% compared to conventional diesel vehicles. The institution also points out projections that show a reduction in emissions of around 92% when 100% renewable electricity is used.

Furthermore, the addition of 221 new vehicles reinforces Seara's investment in a segment that is increasingly dynamic compared to models powered by fossil fuels. "With the evolution of technology, electric vehicles tend to gain more autonomy, becoming a more attractive and competitive alternative", highlights the executive.
