UPS has announced that it is to purchase 100 emission-free electric vans for its California operation. The CEO of Electric Vehicles International (EVI), Ricky Hanna, commented on the deal:
“We are proud to provide 100 California made vehicles to UPS beginning in January. UPS is an industry leader in implementing alternative fuel vehicles and we are excited to partner with them on this deployment.”
EVI is still a relatively small company but it’s a significant account win for the electric commercial vehicle manufacturer that operates by putting their green technology into chassis made by other companies. It’s not something UPS went into blindly either.
