Fleet & Transportation
Beverage concentrate is largely shipped to bottling operations by
sea, while finished beverages are mostly transported by road to distributors
and retail customers. The environmental impacts of the transportation
of our product -- whether by land or by sea -- result from fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and maintenance.
We are working to conserve fuel in our fleet of approximately 200,000
diesel vehicles through the introduction of idle-reduction and biodiesel
technologies, which can also help reduce emissions. We also have begun
use of diesel-electric hybrid trucks in select markets.
