Launched across Toll’s network, 12 Volvo FM battery electric rigids will replace existing diesel vehicles in CCEP’s national delivery network    

Toll Group announced 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 270 km. 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.

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.
