This will be way different we have never marketed anything like this before. I am not a driver but I think early morning pick-ups could create headaches for drivers as well.
Why is UPS marketing this "green" image? The marketing must cost more than 400,000 turkeys(ha ha) and I can't imagine what it does for our bottom line.
Are you going to choose UPS over Fed-Ex because UPS is more "greener"? I don't even know what that means or if either company could qualify as "green"?
The fact is, both companies are enormous polluters of the envrionment. 82,000 gas or diesel package cars/day in the US emits a tremendous amount of CO2 everyday. 10 hybrid or electric vehicles does or means nothing.
What is UPS trying to accomplish by publishing stories of using a handful of hybrid or fuel cell package cars? Are they trying to say they will replace the entire fleet with these?
This is the only thing that would have a significant impact on UPS's carbon footprint. We all know this can never happen. Its just not feasible.
Even if it were UPS' plan, at the rate they replace old package cars, it would take more than 30 years to "green the fleet".
So my question still is: Why does UPS market the use of these low or no-emmision vehicles when they still haven't updated its fleet with power-steering package cars?
Its simply not profitable for the company to use these "green" vehicles. I would love to hear a straight answer...
