Company aims to decarbonize supply chain.
Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) has announced its first-ever third-party shipment on an electric vehicle with Schneider National Inc., a multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services. This is the first third-party transportation shipment on an electric vehicle (EV) for PepsiCo globally and establishes FLNA and its snack products as the first to contract transport on Schneider's electric truck fleet of Freightliner eCascadias.
"Today's milestone shipment underscores the importance of cross-industry collaboration in building a more sustainable food system and achieving Frito-Lay and PepsiCo Positive's goal of net-zero emissions by 2040," said David Allen, vice president and chief sustainability officer, PepsiCo Foods North America. "As a company with massive scale, Frito-Lay looks for opportunities to create positive change—but we can't do it alone. By working with Schneider, we are taking an important step forward in our efforts to reduce value chain emissions and move our snack products in a more sustainable way."
