Delivery Services

From grocery and flower vans to heavy-duty livestock and fuel trucks, delivery vehicles can take advantage of alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technologies, idle reduction strategies, and fuel economy measures. Delivery fleets are ideal for these approaches because they are typically centrally fueled and have high fuel use, high visibility, and predictable routes.

Some fleets, such as the U.S. Postal Service, are required under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and other ordinances to reduce petroleum consumption. Many others use alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technologies to help "green" their communities.

This page serves as the table of contents for the Delivery Services section. Use the links below to learn more about alternative fuel and advanced technology delivery service vehicles in fleet applications.
