UPS's electric fleet

The rising cost of fossil fuels has ensured that people turn to alternative energy powered vehicles for their business transportation needs.

United Parcel Service (UPS) started a delivery service in California for small parcels with a 100% EV fleet recently. They bought 42 electric cars and trucks (ZAP Xebra). UPS have never used electric vehicles before and a lot of businesses should look to emulate them in order to cut costs as well as emissions.

An electric vehicle blog site posted this news a while back:
