One of the 125 new hybrid electric delivery trucks purchased by UPS
http://edienet.s3.amazonaws.com/news/images/28928.jpgDelivery firm UPS has today (9 September) confirmed the purchase of 125 new hybrid electric delivery trucks in the US and begun trials for its first range-extended electric vehicles in the UK.
The new trucks, which will deliver up to four times the fuel economy of a conventional vehicle, will be deployed in Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida the first half of 2016.
Costing slightly more than similar trucks with conventional engines, UPS said its ongoing sustainability commitment to reduce the environmental impact of its fleet influenced the purchase decision.
“These vehicles are a bridge to the delivery trucks of tomorrow,” said UPS senior vice president for global engineering and sustainability Mark Wallace. “This investment will help create and grow the market for ground-breaking alternative propulsion systems that reduce environmental impact, reduce operating costs and save fuel.”
The initiative is part of UPS’s Rolling Laboratory, a new approach to optimising the use of alternative-fuel and advanced-technology vehicles.

UPS drives towards 'delivery trucks of tomorrow'

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
