Fedex Reducing Fuel Use Faster Than Expected

By pursuing the most promising avenues of advanced technologies,
. . . enlisting multiple experienced manufacturers and
. . . optimizing our vehicle operations,
. . . FedEx is reducing fuel use and emissions faster than expected.

Upcoming addition of 87 all-electric trucks to its green fleet,
. . . bringing the all-electric vehicle count to 130.

Acceleration of its efforts in fuel conservation through the purchase of vehicles with
. . . right-sized engines like the Sprinter vans manufactured by Mercedes-Benz,
. . . that's 70% to 100% more fuel-efficient than the original truck it replaces.

Although we are less than halfway to the end date we set for ourselves,
. . . we have achieved 80% of our vehicle fuel efficiency goal,
. . . as of the conclusion of fiscal year 2011,
. . . compared to our original baseline set in 2005.
