National Clean Fleets Partners commit to deploy 230K altfuel vehicles
In Washington, National Clean Fleets Partnership announced that five of its charter members: AT&T, FedEx, PepsiCo, UPS and Verizon, who represent five of the nation’s 10 largest national fleets and collectively own and operate more than 275,000 vehicles, have committed to reducing their petroleum consumption.
Their planned current and near-term petroleum reduction strategies will account for the deployment of over 20,000 advanced technology vehicles and annual petroleum displacement in excess of 7 million gallons. DOE is challenging other companies to join this important effort.
Through the Partnership, the DOE will assist companies in their efforts to reduce fuel use and achieve greater efficiency and cost-savings by offering specialized resources, technical expertise, and support. The partnership is part of the DOE Vehicle Technology Program’s “Clean Cities” initiative.
This public-private partnership will help large companies reduce diesel and gasoline use in their fleets by incorporating electric vehicles, alternative fuels, and fuel-saving measures into their daily operations.
