Anheuser-Busch announced today (Dec. 7) that it’s preordered 40 of Tesla’s new electric semi trucks, which CEO Elon Musk unveiled last month. The company said in a blog post that the order is part of a commitment to lower its carbon footprint by 30% by 2025.

That’s likely a helpful timeline for Tesla, given that it doesn’t plan to deliver the first of its trucks to customers until 2019, and is still working on ironing out production bottlenecks at its Gigafactory production facility in Reno, Nevada. It’s also furiously trying to keep up with demand for its relatively affordable Model 3 electric vehicle, which is just starting to ship to regular customers.
