PepsiCo tests biodiesel across North American fleet in a push toward sustainability

PepsiCo is looking to use more biodiesel to run its fleet, which is one of the largest in North America at more than 80,000 assets.

The company has ambitious goals over the coming years, with the hopes of reaching net zero by 2040. The company started big and began testing blends at 99 percent biodiesel. Some of their trucks even run on 100 percent blends.

“So, from that standpoint of being nearly a 100% biogenic fuel, it has a massive impact on reducing additive CO2 into the air,” said Adam Buttgenbach, director of fleet engineering and sustainability at PepsiCo.

The company has converted 50 of its trucks to use B100.
