Just as it offers a variety of beverage flavors, the Coca-Cola company dabbles in many gasoline alternatives for its truck fleet, from flex-fuel to hybrids. Today, the Sacramento Coca-Cola Bottling Company started leasing a Nissan X-Trail hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the first such lease in North America. The company will lease the vehicle for one year, but has the option to extend that for another two years. Sacramento is one of the locations targeted by the California Fuel Cell Partnership for early H₂ refueling infrastructure and already has three stations in the vicinity (it’s also the home of the CaFCP). Coke will use the FCV for sales calls and public events to promote Coke Zero (zero – get it?). Read our first drive take on the X-Trail FCV here.
