Guess which business has now gone hybrid? Fedex! We have seen a lot of companies employ the use of new hybrid buses and apparently Fedex is the latest business to make use of this as their prime mover for their trucks and mobile needs.
They have added 92 hybrid trucks and is expected to grow further in numbers. FedEx extends its leadership position with the largest fleet of hybrid delivery trucks in North America and continues to demonstrate the everyday viability of these vehicles.
The FedEx hybrid-electric fleet has logged more than four million miles of revenue service since being introduced in 2004, reducing fuel use by 150,000 gallons and carbon dioxide emissions by 1,521 metric tons, which is equivalent to removing 279 cars from the road annually.
