USPS to replace fleet with green cars
Following the example of many players in international business, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has announced a fleet upgrade to take advantage of alternative fuel vehicles.
The agency will conduct a one-for-one replacement of 6,500 vehicles with 1,000 E-85 ethanol-capable and 900 gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles to its delivery fleet.
"This is a unique opportunity for the Postal Service to continue work on our goals for improved fuel economy, greenhouse gas reductions and on our position as an environmental leader," says Wayne Corey, USPS manager for Vehicle Operations, who is overseeing the vehicle delivery.
In addition to the main project, USPS is also conducting eco-transproation trials on a smaller scale, including testing two fourth generation fuel-cell Chevrolet Equinox hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, which are delivering mail in Irvine, California, and in Washington DC.
The moves are in line with the prevailing trend of shifting towards the use of eco-friendly vehicles both by individual consumers as well as businesses. Business school graduates are among those who make similar decisions for their companies to save them costs and protect the environment.
According to PayScale.com, average salaries for holders of MBA degrees range from $73,510 to $171,583.
