ATLANTA – UPS is adding biodiesel to its 1,600-plus vehicle “green fleet,” which the company said is the largest fleet of alternatively fueled vehicles in the world, according to Biodiesel Magazine. The company’s biodiesel initiative will be launched with the support of a $515,000 federal grant.

The funds will be used to enhance infrastructure in order to supply a five percent biodiesel blend to 366 ground support vehicles at the company’s Louisville, Ky., airport hub, starting in 2008. The company’s green fleet also uses propane and natural gas and includes electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The UPS green fleet has logged more than 126 million miles since 2000.
