Tesla unveiled its long-awaited electric truck last month after the event was postponed several times, and is now leading the way in radical changes in the trucking industry. Tesla received applications for pre-booking of its electric truck from several companies, but so far the most recent deal with Pepsi.
According to Reuters, Pepsi has asked for 100 truckloads of Tesla trucks as an attempt to reduce gas emissions by 20 percent and provide fuel expenditure by 2030. Other companies are also looking to turn their truck fleet into electric trucks, including Wal-Mart, Cisco Corp, and JP Hunt, transport Cervantes. The total number of trucks required from Tesla to date is approximately 267 electric trucks.
Mike O'Connell the supply chain manager at Freto Lee Company of Pepsi, in an interview with Reuters, said that Pepsi intended to use the truck of new shipments of beverages and snacks produced from factories to distribution facilities, to be transported directly to retailers located Their shops are within a range of 800 kilometers, the maximum extent that a Tesla truck can reach after charging its batteries completely.
Pepsi did not disclose the amount it paid for this order, but Tesla set the amount of the one truck at about 20,000 US dollars and the full price in 180, 000 US dollars, and a simple arithmetic, we estimate that Pepsi has paid about 2 million US dollars in demand for 100 trucks, and will then pay 18 ml. Yoon US dollars at the start of its production and delivery in the year 2019.
