DHL Supply Chain and Diageo North America Power Up Sustainability Partnership with Deployment of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks
DHL Supply Chain and Diageo North America have announced the deployment of two hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks manufactured by Nikola at Diageo's Plainfield, Illinois campus. This marks the first Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles to operate daily in Illinois.
The initiative is expected to reduce 80% carbon emissions compared to diesel trucks, offering up to 500 miles range on a single fill. The trucks will be fueled with a HYLA modular refueler and feature improved driver comfort and safety features. This deployment is part of both companies' broader sustainability strategies, building on their 20-year partnership and previous successful implementation of electric yard trucks.
