Toll announces next phase of its $67 million electric vehicles program with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners

Toll Group today announces the next phase of its $67 million investment in sustainable transport solutions across Australia, with the deployment of a new fleet of electric rigid trucks in partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP).

Launched across Toll’s network, 12 Volvo FM battery electric rigids will replace existing diesel vehicles in CCEP’s national delivery network. These rigids offer a quieter and lower-emission solution for beverage distribution, without compromising on reliability, safety, or customer excellence.

Each vehicle has a 12-pallet capacity and a charging range of up to 270kms. Designed for multiple deliveries across key metropolitan routes, the fleet will collectively reduce an estimated 283 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

Vehicles will operate from CCEP’s distribution centres in Botany (NSW), Eastern Creek (NSW), Richlands (QLD), and Hazelmere (WA), and be supported by site-specific charging infrastructure ranging from 30kW to 60kW dual outlet charging stations. These facilities have been co-invested by CCEP, reinforcing its commitment to enabling the transition to electric vehicle technology.

Beyond environmental benefits, the electric rigids are equipped with advanced safety systems and technology to protect drivers, enhance service delivery performance, and support community safety.

This initiative marks the next phase of Toll’s broader $67 million investment in battery electric heavy vehicles and charging infrastructure, co-funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) through its ‘Driving the Nation’ program. ARENA’s support has been instrumental in enabling Toll to progress this initiative.

In total 28 EVs will be launched with Toll customers over the coming months, making it Australia’s largest deployment of battery electric heavy vehicles in the third-party sector.

Nick Vrckovski, Toll President Retail & Consumer said, “We are proud to have CCEP take part in our national electric heavy vehicle program. Their support is another key milestone in our 25+ year partnership, as we work together to reduce emissions, improve safety, and meet the high standards our customers expect."

Phillip Parsons, Director of Logistics at CCEP, said the initiative supports their ongoing commitment to working with suppliers to build a sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon supply chain.

“Our investment in these 12 new electric rigids along with dedicated charging infrastructure across our facilities, reflects our long-term commitment to building a more sustainable beverage distribution network. With one of the most extensive logistics footprints in the country, we are proud to deliver beverages that are made in Australia to our customers reliably, safely, and efficiently – and now more sustainably.

“Partnering with Toll on this roll out is another meaningful step in our journey toward achieving net zero emissions by 2040, working collaboratively with suppliers to drive sustainable solutions across our entire value chain.”

Insights from the program will contribute to broader industry knowledge on energy usage, route planning, and vehicle performance, and support the long-term transition to low-emissions freight transport in Australia.
