Coca Cola diesel-electric hybrid delivery trucks. These hybrid trucks are 30% more fuel-efficient than traditional trucks, produce less emissions when idling or stopped in traffic, and reduces overall emissions by one-third.

I just saw one of these super HOT red babies on the road and all I can say is, “Now that is awesome.” Coke has upheld its commitment to improving pollution and reducing use of fossil fuels. Be on the look out for these electric-powered hunk of burnin’ love Coca-Cola red trucks, complete with mandatory chrome trim and wording on the side that says, “Did you know I am an electric vehicle?”

I just can’t say enough about how proud I was to see this. Let’s hope that other big corporations follow Coke’s lead and convert their fleets to electric. “So have a Coke and a smile!”
