Delivery Services Benefits
Alternative fuel and advanced technology delivery service vehicles provide important benefits, including the following:
They protect public health and the environment in their delivery areas by producing fewer emissions compared with conventional vehicles. Their impact is large because they are typically driven many miles and many hours each day.
They can help reduce operational and maintenance costs while displacing petroleum use.
They are able to use alternative fuels consistently because they are typically centrally fueled and have predictable routes.
They enhance public relations when they are cleaner, quieter, and less expensive to operate than conventional vehicles.
They can be eligible for significant state and federal incentives and other funding opportunities.
