From The Wall Street Journal (the link will probably break soon):
Operators of some of the largest U.S. truck fleets, including Lowe’s
Cos., Procter & Gamble Co. and United Parcel Service Inc., are
accelerating a shift to natural gas fueled trucks, betting on new engine
technology that promises to drop the cost of shifting from diesel fuel.
Home-improvement retailer Lowe’s wants its delivery company to shift
all of its several hundred trucks to natural gas by 2017. P&G
already has 7% of its trucks on gas and could reach as much as 20%
within two years. UPS says it plans to buy 1,000 natural gas trucks by
the end of next year. FedEx Corp. plans to shift 30% of its
long-distance trucks to natural gas over the next decade.
