We all know that the United Parcel Service is famous for those big brown trucks. Even their slogan focuses on that trademark mud color. However a new color will soon be taking over, sort of: UPS is now going green. In a decision announced earlier this week, UPS will soon release over forty small electric vehicles in parts of Northern California to deliver to locations that are normally congested and difficult for the big brown trucks to maneuvering.
The new vehicle is called the Xebra, and is produced by a company named Zap, located in Santa Rosa. UPS's ground fleet is approaching 95,000 vehicles, and electric trucks are soon moving in, hopefully to replace the majority of the fleet. Not only do the new electric vehicles help the environment, they also are less expensive and cut costs for UPS. Good job UPS, keep up the good work!
