UPS adds CNG trucks to fleet
Business First of Louisville
Over the past month, United Parcel Service Inc. has put into service 300 delivery trucks powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).
The CNG-powered trucks are being used in seven cities in Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma and California, UPS said in a news release.
The CNG trucks look just like the signature-brown UPS trucks, but they are expected to cut emissions by 20 percent over the cleanest diesel engines available in the market today, UPS said in the release.
UPS has begun using 43 CNG trucks in Denver; 46 in Atlanta and 100 in Oklahoma City. The remaining trucks are being used in California. Twenty-one CNG trucks were deployed to Sacramento; 63 in San Ramon; nine in Los Angeles and 18 in Ontario.
Atlanta-based UPS (NYSE: UPS) already operates the largest private fleet of alternative fuel vehicles in its industry at 1,819. UPS uses 800 CNG vehicles around the world.

It is good to see companies like UPS, that do a lot of driving, adapting to clean energy. Maybe someday soon it will be practical for even long range truckers to convert to CNG or hydrogen.
