Budweiser beer's parent company wants its vehicles to produce zero carbon emissions by 2025.

Anheuser-Busch announced Thursday that it will buy 800 hydrogen-electric powered semitrucks from Nikola Motor Company in order to offset the emissions of its current fleet.

The company hopes to eventually replace all of its gas powered long-haul fleet with hydrogen and electric vehicles. The integration will begin in 2020.

“At Anheuser-Busch we’re continuously searching for ways to improve sustainability across our entire value chain and drive our industry forward. The transport industry is one that is ripe for innovative solutions and Nikola is leading the way with hydrogen-electric, zero-emission capabilities. We are very excited by the possibilities our partnership with them can offer,” Anheuser-Busch President Michel Doukeris said in a statement.
