The standard FedEx trucks used in the retrofit program were 2000 or 2001 models with 300,000 to 500,000 miles driven. An added benefit of the conversion program is that it not only reduces pollution but also extends the life of the vehicles, helping to eliminate waste production and creating a reduce-and-reuse program.

Since electric vehicles have no carbon emissions while running, they are much better for the environment than traditional cars. They produce no smog-forming pollution unlike gasoline cars, and they don’t release hazardous pollutants like carbon monoxide and benzene into the air. Less to run, but harder to go further.
