FedEx has deployed 20 gasoline hybrid electric vehicles (gHEVs) on parcel delivery routes in the Sacramento and Los Angeles areas. This hybridized, gasoline-fueled vehicle is equipped with a three-way catalyst, which results in very low tailpipe gaseous emissions. Routes were exchanged between gHEV and diesel trucks after six months.
