Generations of innovation in shipping and logistics
UPS learned decades ago that considering the environment can also impact the bottom line. Here's a look at how innovation in logistics and shipping is paying off.
Content provided by UPS
From oxcarts to river barges to steam-powered locomotives to high-flying, fuel-efficient jet aircraft to all-electric delivery vehicles, the shipping that is essential to commerce has become increasingly efficient. Faster. Cleaner. More economical.
 
Close to 100 years of innovation in logistics has sharpened UPS's ability to get your package where it needs to go, on time, while lessening the impact on the environment whether by plane, train, ship or truck. The UPS fleet includes more than 2,500 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles. In fact, it’s one of the longest-standing alternative fleets of any company.
