    Producers Dairy is taking on two Volvo VNR Electric Trucks into its fleet in California’s Central Valley.

    The 90-year-old farm food firm has contracted AMPLY Power to manage the design and installation of the charging infrastructure required at the company’s Fresno dairy processing facility, including two 150 kW DC fast chargers, with potential for scalability.

    AMPLY will also provide managed charging services through its OMEGA platform. This will ensure low charging costs while ensuring vehicle readiness and uptime.

    “As we improve sustainability across our operations, we are looking for the most efficient, cost-effective solutions,” said Scott Shehadey, President of Producers Dairy. “AMPLY Power’s holistic approach to charging infrastructure and management will help us for years to come as we continue to scale our EV fleet.”

    Producers Dairy is the first to deploy the EVs in California’s Central Valley. AMPLY’s Charging-as-a-Service model means AMPLY handles everything from charger installation to charging window optimization. It will also provide charger maintenance service.

    “Equipping the food and beverage sector with electric fleets has the potential to decrease carbon emissions significantly,” said Vic Shao, CEO of AMPLY Power. “We are thrilled to work with Producers Dairy to make this process simple and attainable as they set the example for sustainable transportation in their industry.”

    The EV deployment at Producers Dairy was funded via the CARB GGRF Zero Emission Drayage Truck Project. 

    Producers Dairy, founded in 1932, produces and delivers farm-origin products such as milk, ice cream, eggs, sour cream, orange and apple juices and other dairy staples. Expanding with acquisitions of companies in Oregon and Nevada, it is a third-generation family business run by the Shehadey family.

    California has a government-directed objective to achieve five million zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) on the road by 2030 and 250,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2025. By 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California must be ZEVs.
