Distribution fleet
from Sustainability Report 2020
by Sigma
We use disruptive technologies to reduce fuel consumption in the distribution of our products.
We continually test new technologies, including the use of hybrid and electric vehicles, as well as converting to natural-gas-powered units to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Route optimization programs are also implemented, resulting in better fuel efficiency rates. We also work with our suppliers so that they use vehicles with more efficient technologies and lower emissions in the geographies where we operate.
First 100%-electric vehicle
In 2020, we developed a pilot program to explore ecological technologies in our delivery vehicles in Mexico, including more efficient refrigeration equipment, anti-glare paint, and solar panels. We are currently in the process of analyzing the results of the program in order to explore if it is feasible to employ these technologies in our distribution network.
We certify our progress
In 2020 we received, for the seventh consecutive year, the Excellence in Environmental Performance award granted by the Mexican government as part of its Clean Transportation program. This initiative promotes environmentally friendly transportation through actions that reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, including the strategic allocation of routes, eco-friendly driving techniques, preventive maintenance, and aerodynamic technologies.
