Sysco Corporation unveiled its vision for the Riverside Electric Vehicle Hub, which will transform the company’s distribution center into the focal point of its electrified fleet. Currently, Sysco operates eleven Freightliner battery electric eCascadia tractors at its Riverside facility and expects to deploy 20 total by summer 2023. Once completed, the facility’s currently planned EV infrastructure will include: 40 dual port DC fast-charging stations in support of 40 Electric, Class-8 vehicles, and 40 electric refrigerated trailers. "We are excited to showcase Sysco’s work to build our first Electric Vehicle Hub at our Riverside, CA site," said Marie Robinson, Sysco’s Chief Supply Chain Officer. "This is a massive collaborative effort that has required years of planning. We’re grateful to our many partners on this journey for their vision, innovation and leadership in bringing the transportation and infrastructure technology to market to support this project." Sysco announced in May 2021 its intent to deploy nearly 800 battery electric Freightliner eCascadia Class 8 tractors by 2026.
