The Road to 1 Billion Miles in UPS’s Alternative Fuel and Advanced Technology Vehicles
UPS is committed to better fuel alternatives, now and for the future. That’s why we recently announced a
new goal –– to drive 1 billion miles in our alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles by 2017. With
nearly 3,000 vehicles currently in our “rolling laboratory,” we’re creating sustainable connections and
delivering innovative, new technologies on the road and around the globe.

Our goal is to drive 1 billion miles in alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles by the end of 2017 — more than double our previous goal to drive 400 million miles.
