The PrairieBizMag is reporting:
United
Parcel Service Inc. is spending $70 million to add 1,000 propane-fueled
trucks to its delivery fleet, the biggest bulk purchase of
propane-fired vehicles yet as output of the fuel in the United States
hits record highs.
The fleet, which UPS is buying from
Daimler AG's Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp., will replace gasoline
and diesel vehicles in Louisiana and Oklahoma, UPS said in a statement
on Wednesday. The investment will include 50 new fueling stations.
The
transition is expected to begin in the middle of this year and be
completed early next year, UPS said. It also plans to introduce
propane-fueled vehicles in other U.S. states.
The North American energy revolution continues.
