UPS拖拉机与LNG加气

UPS全球物流公司已经发布了其年度可持续发展报告“宣布，虽然在2012年出货的包的总数增加了，公司减少其总的温室气体（GHG）排放。环境成就包括地面和空中节省燃油，增加投资在替代燃料汽车，包括CNG和LNG燃料的车队，以及改良后的路线剃12100000英里的从地面运送。

“UPS还设置了新的替代燃料的目标，UPS首席运营官大卫·阿布尼说，”。“到2017年，该公司将达到一亿英里/先进技术替代燃料汽车 - 的两倍多以前的400万英里的目标驱动。”

UPS的环保战略的基石之一是支持低排放的替代燃料的开发和利用。今年早些时候，UPS宣布，计划在未来两年内增加近1000个液化天然气（LNG）的拖拉机，扩大其现有船队2,700替代燃料和技术先进的车辆。

车辆约占35％的UPS的碳足迹。UPS正在加快新一代汽车的测试，购买和部署。2000年至2012年年底，替代燃料/先进技术船队已记录2.95亿英里，2017年的1亿公里设置一个雄心勃勃的新目标。在2012年，这个日益庞大的开车49000000英里，相比2011年增加了43％。

Global logistics company UPS has released its annual Sustainability Report announcing that while the total number of packages shipped in 2012 increased, the company reduced its total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Environmental achievements included ground and air fuel savings, increased investments in alternative fuel vehicles including CNG and LNG fueled fleet vehicles, and retooled routes that shaved 12.1 million miles from ground deliveries.

“UPS also set a new alternative fuel goal,” said David Abney, UPS Chief Operating Officer. “By 2017, the company will reach one billion miles driven by alternative fuel/advanced technology vehicles – more than double the previous 400 million mile goal.”

One of the cornerstones of UPS’s environmental strategy is to support the development and use of lower-emission alternative fuels. Earlier this year, UPS announced plans to add nearly 1,000 Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tractors in the next two years, expanding its current fleet of 2,700 alternative fuel and technologically advanced vehicles.

Vehicles represent approximately 35 percent of UPS’s carbon footprint.  UPS is accelerating its testing, purchase and deployment of new-generation vehicles. Between 2000 and the end of 2012, the alternative fuel/advanced technology fleet has logged 295 million miles with an ambitious new goal of 1 billion miles set for 2017. In 2012, this growing fleet drove 49 million miles, a 43 percent increase compared to 2011.
