Victoria Adds First-of-Its-Kind Electric Semi-Truck to Its Fleet

The city of Victoria will soon add a Peterbilt 579EV, an electric semi-truck, to its fleet, marking a historic first in North America.

The Peterbilt 579EV, produced by a U.S. Manufacturer, is tailored for regional transport and offers a driving range of as much as 320 kilometres per full battery charge, supported by a fast-charging capability.
Matt Dell expressed enthusiasm about the recent addition of an electric semi-truck to the city’s fleet, emphasizing its role in advancing efforts to lower municipal emissions.
This addition aligns with Victoria's goal to electrify its entire vehicle fleet and reflects its ongoing commitment to tackle climate change.
