Adding to its global delivery milestone of more than 12,000 truck deliveries, battery-electric manufacturer Build Your Dreams announced the official 100th U.S. based delivery of its battery-electric truck fleet. The second-generation BYD 8TT Class 8 Electric Semi will support operations for Anheuser-Busch’s Oakland-based distribution center.

“This is a great milestone for BYD, and it is just the beginning,” said Aaron Gillmore, BYD’s Vice President of Truck Business. “Our trucks are hard at work every day proving that electric is the new standard. 2020 will be a fantastic year for battery-electric trucks.”

The new truck’s primary focus will be delivering the brand’s beverages to grocery and retail stores specifically in the San Francisco Bay region. This fleet addition supports Anheuser Busch’s pledge to reduce carbon emissions by 25 percent by 2025 as part of its U.S. Sustainability Goals, pushing the company one step closer to attaining that goal and reducing harmful emissions in the meantime. Four additional Anheuser-Busch distribution center facilities in the Southern California region including Sylmar, Riverside, Pomona, and Carson represent 21 additional BYD electric trucks as part of the partnership with BYD.

“We are proud to continue to build on our commitment to sustainable logistics through our partnership with BYD in California,” said Joaquin Schlottmann, Vice President of Tier 2 Logistics at Anheuser-Busch. “By integrating zero-emission vehicles into our distribution fleet, we are taking another step towards reaching our sustainability goals and helping ensure our beers are delivered in the most sustainable way possible.”
