FedEx adding more hybrids to fleet

At least 20 new hybrids

"FedEx Express introduced hybrid-electric vehicles to the commercial vehicle market six years ago, and we look forward to further advancing this important, environmentally-conscious initiative with Ford and Azure Dynamics," said John Formisano, Vice President, Global Vehicles, FedEx Express. "We continue to look for opportunities for economic efficiencies, environmental stewardship and being a good corporate citizen. We are encouraged that this project can do just that."

Under the agreement, Fed Ex will test a new Ford E-450 hybrid, and once testing is complete, FedEx will purchase at least 20 of the hybrids.
