Frito-Lay has announced a nationwide initiative to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of relying solely on traditional trucks to shuttle snacks all over the country, Frito-Lay has decided to include over 700 electric vehicles in its operations by the end of the year.
For over a decade, Frito-Lay has made a concerted effort to be more environmentally friendly in how it transports products. As early as 2011, the company began to use compressed natural gas vehicles on the route. Frito-Lay’s ambition to be more sustainable has only grown, as it has a goal to attain net-zero emissions by 2040. According to the Frito-Lay website, a renewable energy vehicle fleet will result in savings equal to the output of 8,000 natural gas homes.
