The U.S. Postal Service announced it will replace 6,500 vehicles with 1,000 E-85 ethanol-capable and 900 gasoline/electric hybrid vehicles to its delivery fleet. The rest of the new fleet purchase will be fuel-efficient, four-cylinder vehicles, which will replace aging vehicles at postal offices and facilities across the country as the Postal Service continues to reduce the size of its fleet..
At nearly 220,000, the Postal Service operates and maintains the largest civilian fleet in the country. The 1,900 vehicles, paid for by the U.S. General Services Administration, will bring the total number of alternate fuel-capable vehicles in the Postal Service fleet to more than 43,000.
