Coca-Cola FEMSA has announced an expansion of its commitment to sustainability by incorporating 30 new electric vehicles into its fleet in Central America.
Of the 30 electric vehicles to be added to the company’s fleet, between 15 and 20 will be allocated to Costa Rica, while approximately ten will be deployed in Panama.
This expansion adds to the 50 light electric vehicles already operating in both countries. In addition to the light vehicles, Coca-Cola FEMSA has invested in two Volkswagen e-Delivery electric trucks in Costa Rica.

“By 2030, we want at least 50% of our light vehicles to be electric, and by 2050, we aim to reach 100% conversion,” said Carlos Castillo, head of transport for Southern Central America at the company.
Coca-Cola’s footprint
In Panama, Coca-Cola has strengthened its support network for electric vehicles through a strategic alliance with EVERGO, gaining access to the company’s public charging network, complementing the internal charging infrastructure that the multinational has installed.
In total, Coca-Cola has installed 31 chargers between Costa Rica and Panama, ensuring its electric fleet has the necessary support to operate efficiently and continuously as part of its sustainability plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean energy use in its operations.
This expansion of the electric fleet reinforces the company’s environmental commitment, serving as a model for other corporations in the region and beyond, demonstrating that the transition to sustainable mobility is both possible and essential.
