Anheuser-Busch Delivers New Era of Beer with Innovative Zero-Em

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 11, 2022 - PRLog -- Ahead of this weekend's big game, Anheuser-Busch has teamed up with its innovative fleet partners, Nikola Corporation and BYD Motors, to deliver Bud Light NEXT, the brand's first-ever zero carb beer that breaks the barriers of a traditional lager, with zero-emissions.

"With this zero-emission beer delivery, Anheuser-Busch is showing what is possible when you invest in innovative solutions to help protect our environment, " said Assembly member Laura Friedman, California State Assembly Transportation Committee Chairwoman. "I am excited to continue to work alongside Anheuser-Busch and other companies here in California to drive progress in sustainable transportation and logistics to ensure all goods are being delivered in the most sustainable way possible."

This milestone delivery also marked the expansion of Anheuser-Busch's partnerships with both Nikola and BYD in California as part of the brewers' global net-zero ambition and commitment to reducing carbon emissions across their U.S. value chain by 25% by 2025.

"Our long-term partnership with Anheuser-Busch in support of their leading commitment to sustainability has been an incredible honor for Nikolas," said Nikola CEO, Mark Russell. "We're very proud of the part played by the long-range and zero-emission Nikola Tre hydrogen electric truck in delivering zero carb beer to celebrate this year's big game."
