FedEx launches new electric truck initiative
FedEx announces that 4 all-electric trucks will begin parcel delivery service in Los Angeles in June 2010.
Photo: FedEx Route 66 was not chosen by accident. This historical roadway helped foster inter-city commerce when it first opened up in the 1920s. Through its delivery service, FedEx also fosters inter-city commerce. The company also supports the creation of a program to “encourage affordable electrification of local transportation to foster more domestic energy production, less reliance on imported petroleum, and an overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.” Source: FedEx

As a mechanic for Fedex Express, you guys need to get a clue.... Yes our fleet is aging but anybody that's in this industryn knows that you just can't go out and buy all new equipment. While I might not be that sharpest tool in the shed even I know it's not economically sound to do this. I get frustrated tyoo but I have to work with what I have also..
As a FedEx courier, we can't get any vehicles, let alone electric ones. The fleet is falling apart and management has done nothing to correct this aspect of "superior customer service".
Despite FedEx's headline that says their electric vehicles are the first in the industry, its not true. UPS has had all-electric vehicles since the 1930s. And we still have some in NYC.
