[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1375773, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-07-31/smart-maps-help-ups-meet-carbon-goal-three-years-early-.html'][B]Smart Maps Help UPS Meet Carbon Goal Three Years Early - Bloomberg[/B][/URL] United Parcel Service Inc., which reached a 2016 goal of reducing global carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent three years early, has a new target: 20 percent by 2020. The world's largest package-delivery company plans to use more alternative-fuel vehicles and expand its ORION software in the U.S. as part of that effort, Chief Sustainability Officer Rhonda Clark said in a telephone interview. “People compare it to GPS, but ORION goes so much further” in optimizing routes by combining map data and time-sensitive package information, Clark said. Previously “a typical UPS driver would deliver all of the air stops in the morning and sometimes have to backtrack to go back and deliver ground stops.” [/QUOTE]
