Lotte Chilsung Beverage announced on July 29 that it has surpassed 1,000 electric vehicles in operation, accelerating its transition to eco-friendly mobility across its business sites.

As of this month, the cumulative number of electric vehicles introduced by Lotte Chilsung Beverage at its facilities has reached 1,015. This accounts for approximately 42% of the company’s overall vehicle fleet. According to the company, if certain specialized vehicles and large trucks, for which conversion to electric is challenging, are excluded, the rate of electrification exceeds half of the total fleet.

By vehicle type, compact vehicles and passenger cars—primarily used for sales and work purposes and consistently added since the early phases of the conversion program—represent the largest share, with 710 and about 130 units, respectively. The expansion of eco-friendly mobility in both production and logistics sites has resulted in the conversion of approximately 110 forklifts and over 60 one-ton trucks to electric vehicles.

Since 2021, Lotte Chilsung Beverage has been replacing aging internal combustion engine vehicles with eco-friendly electric vehicles, and has installed charging infrastructure at major logistics hubs nationwide to improve electric vehicle operating efficiency. The company aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated during vehicle operation and strengthen its ability to respond to global energy supply chain fluctuations, thereby building a sustainable logistics system.

Lotte Chilsung Beverage reduced about 550 tons of greenhouse gas emissions last year, and this year expects to cut more than 970 tons—a year-on-year increase of over 75%. A representative from Lotte Chilsung Beverage stated, “As a leading beverage company, we will continue to fulfill our social responsibility to the environment and lead with sincere ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management.”
