UPS First in Industry to Purchase Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicles
UPS, EPA, Eaton, Navistar Agree: "HHV Ready for Prime Time"
ATLANTA, Oct. 27, 2008 – As part of a public-private partnership to increase the commercial availability and use of alternative fuel vehicles, UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced its first purchases of a little-known technology – the hydraulic hybrid vehicle – that promises dramatic fuel savings and environmental benefits.
The technology, originally developed in a federal laboratory of the Environmental Protection Agency, stores energy by compressing hydraulic fluid under pressure in a large chamber. UPS was the only company in its industry asked to road-test the technology two years ago and now becomes the first delivery company to place an order for hydraulic hybrid vehicles (HHV).
