\nUPS has had enough with those heavy delivery trucks<\/a>, and has opted to use ABS plastic instead of sheet aluminum, constructing a lighter fuel efficient and recyclable truck<\/a>. Using the plastic shell instead of aluminum help cut the weight of this one by a whopping 1,000 pounds. And owing to the fact that the truck\u2019s lighter, it\u2019s bound to be a hell lot more fuel efficient too. Using plastic for truck bodies could help UPS increase its fuel efficiency levels by up to 40%, helping save about 84 million gallons of fuel annually!<\/p>\n
\nABS plastic can also be easily recycled once the trucks are decommissioned<\/a>, keeping a load of waste aluminum<\/a> out of car graveyards.
