UPS is giving some its fossil-fuel powered vehicles a green energy makeover.*
The company has over 108,000 delivery vehicles (https://pressroom.ups.com/pressroom/ContentDetailsViewer.page?ConceptType=FactSheets&id=1426321563187-193) deployed on routes around the world. More than 770 of those are powered by electric or hybrid motors, and UPS wants to add to that number without actually buying any new vehicles. *
UPS will team up (https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/About/Newsroom/2017-Announcements/2017-11-09-UPS-and-NYSERDA-to-Convert-UPS-Diesel-Delivery-Trucks-in-NYC-to-Electric) with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to convert up to 1,500 diesel trucks to new all-electric systems.
The program, which will be based in the Bronx in NYC, depends on $500,000 from NYSERDA to develop and test the conversion system. UPS and transportation energy company Unique Electric Solutions (UES) LLC will collaborate on the project. If all goes according to plan, the converted e-trucks will start running NYC UPS routes next spring.* Read more...
