Canada’s largest independent distributor of packaging solutions, Carrousel Packaging, has partnered with Cleo to electrify its fleet. Since April 2024, Carrousel Packaging has added five electric straight trucks and one semi-trailer truck to their pick-up and delivery operations, electrifying 10% of their fleet.
Cleo designed and installed the infrastructure at Carrousel’s Boucherville warehouse, incorporating three fast-charge stations and two backup charging stations. In addition, a power unit has been added to house the necessary electrical infrastructure, allowing the charging stations to be powered by a dedicated electrical input. Through Cleo’s turnkey charging service, Carrousel Packaging gains access to an extensive maintenance plan covering both the charging stations and the power unit, as well as ongoing technical support. Furthermore, Cleo’s smart platform guarantees reliable vehicle charging while optimizing cost efficiency.
“We’ve been looking to electrify our fleet for over eight years. We attempted to carry out the charging infrastructure project ourselves, but it proved complex, tedious and time-consuming. I’m very happy we chose Cleo as our partner. The infrastructure was set up quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the team’s proactive approach and dedication.”
