UPS has added 300 “green” trucks to its delivery fleets in seven cities in Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma, and California as their green steps. These new trucks are powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).

UPS already operates the largest private fleet of alternative fuel vehicles in its industry. The company’s 1,819 alternative fuel fleet includes vehicles powered by CNG, liquified natural gas, propane, electric and hybrid electric in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, France, Brazil, Chile, Korea, and the United Kingdom.

“Deploying alternative fuel vehicles dates back to the early days of UPS and this CNG deployment is one more step towards the greening of our fleet,” says Robert Hall, UPS’s director of vehicle engineering. “Continuing to add CNG delivery trucks to our fleet is a sustainable choice because natural gas is a cost effective, clean-burning and readily available fuel.” C’mon! Do green steps, UPS!
