UPS has one of the largest fleets in the United States and this will continue to help the environment and our health. Thank you UPS for planning ahead. - Cleanroom Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:51:50 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2246#comment-20666 UPS is using this technology, not so much for saving the environment, but rather as a way for them to save money. I'm sure you heard that in most of the cities they serve they don't have the drivers make left turns, because they found out how much more gas/diesel they were using, so they set the schedules of their regular drop offs and pick ups to not have to do left turns.. Just like walmart going to all LED lighting in their frozen food sections to save them money. Nothing wrong with that - KJ Lahti Thu, 06 Nov 2008 09:49:26 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2246#comment-20634 Well one of the ways that DHL reduceing their footprint is by cutting back on service area. Found out last week that DHL no longer services my area >:( so it's all UPS now for my shipping. - TheGeek Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:13:24 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2246#comment-20386 I'm excited to see more US companies working with diesel technology. From what I've researched and experienced, diesel engines have far greater capabilities than gasoline engines. It has a bad rep for being dirtier, but new diesel vehicles are actually very clean, sometimes even cleaner than gasoline engines. - Kelly Wed, 29 Oct 2008 08:57:14 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2246#comment-20381 Thats cool. I'm surprised a mechanical hybrid (for lack of a better term) like this wasn't in use first before gas/electric hybrids. It seems like HHVs use technology thats been around for years, where as there was, and still is, lot of effort going into improving batteries for electric hybrids. - HankS Wed, 29 Oct 2008 04:37:14 +0100
