The result is a safer and cleaner fleet for the communities in which we deliver. Electromobility and alternative technology vehicles are demonstrably a priority for UPS. UPS has a long history with electric vehicles, having first introduced them into its fleet in the US in the 1930s, and reintroduced modern EVs in 2001.
Next-generation engines will likely operate at higher pressures, with greater amounts of dilution and utilize alternativefuels that exhibit a wide range of chemical and physical properties. Achievable advances in engine technology can improve the fuel economy of automobiles by over 50% and trucks by over 30%.
They fell 23% from a peak of 14 metric tons per person (roughly equal to driving 34,000 miles) in 2001 to 10.8 The carbon intensity of California’s economy has dropped 38% since the 2001 peak and is now one-half the national average. billion gallons in all—as a result of the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
Safety and transition strategies that enable “drop in” replacement for petroleum-derived aviation fuels. Drop-in alternativefuels will require no significant modifications to aircraft and engines and with a goal of performing more efficiently, and cleaner than current fossil-based fuels.
Electric vehicles are an integral component within UPS’s alternativefuel and advanced technology fleet. We are applying new technology to make the charging process smarter and our delivery service cleaner. —Peter Harris, director of sustainability, UPS Europe. in 2016.
Along with our partners like Clean Cities, our team works extremely hard to encourage the use of clean-vehicle technologies, such as alternativefuels, replacing older engines, and use of electric and hybrid vehicles. —Harold P. Wimmer, National President and CEO of the American Lung Association.
