FedEx Corp. is adding four hybrid electric medium-duty trucks into service in Denver. The company now operates a total 93 hybrid vehicles in cities such as New York, Tampa, Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

  • Decreases soot by 96 percent and smog causing emissions by 65 percent,
  • Travels 57 percent farther on a gallon of fuel, reducing fuel costs by over a third, and 
  • Operates and performs like a conventional FedEx Express medium duty vehicle.
