Nestle shifts to electric trucks to move ingredients

CHEMBONG: Nestle (M) Bhd has become the first manufacturer to be given approval by authorities to use electric trucks that will be used to transport Milo ingredients from its largest industrial complex in Chembong, Negri Sembilan to its facility in Jurong, Singapore.

Nestle, the world’s largest food and beverage manufacturer, will use completely built up Volvo trucks to transport the ingredients 280km to Singapore, a move which will see a potential reduction of 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
