Kimberly-Clark Australia (KCA) has partnered with one of Australia’s leading digital freight providers, Ofload, to launch the first electric truck in KCA’s fleet, marking a significant milestone in sustainable freight transport and underscoring our companywide commitment to reducing emissions.
This initiative features a Volvo FL Electric vehicle that will be integrated into key transport routes within the Brisbane metro area, demonstrating the feasibility of low-emission freight at scale.
The transport sector is Australia’s fastest-growing source of emissions and is projected to become the largest by 2030. This initiative shows how leading brands can take immediate action to cut emissions in supply chains while proving that electric trucks are a viable, scalable solution for freight operations today. The KCA electric vehicle will service key freight routes, with the potential for broader adoption.
“This is a ‘proof of concept’ test use case evaluating the viability, efficiency, and significant carbon reductions that electric freight can deliver,” said Jessica Renton, head of K-C Supply Chain ANZ. “Even replacing just one diesel truck with an electric alternative is a step towards our emissions reduction goal.”
Even a single electric truck can make a significant dent in transport emissions.
