PepsiCo has expanded its fleet of electric vehicles in California, introducing 50 Class 8 Tesla Semi trucks. This move follows PepsiCo's recent delivery of an additional 50 Tesla Semi trucks last week, bringing their total to 86, including the 36 Tesla Semis they already had. Tesla's head of Semi engineering, Dan Priestley, revealed that Tesla Semi trucks have driven over 3.5 million miles and are 65% more efficient than their gas-powered counterparts, averaging 1.7 kWh per mile across the fleet. The new Tesla Semi trucks will operate out of PepsiCo's manufacturing and distribution facility in Fresno, California.
