AT&T has deployed its 4,000th alternative-fuel vehicle (AFV) in its US corporate fleet. The vehicles are part of AT&T’s planned 10-year initiative to invest up to $565 million to replace approximately 15,000 fleet vehicles with alternative fuel models through 2018. AT&T’s fleet nationwide currently numbers more than 71,500 vehicles.
...According to a 2009 Center for Automotive Research report, AT&T’s planned alternative fuel vehicle initiative would, on a nationwide basis:
- Save 49 million gallons of gasoline over the 10-year deployment period.
- Reduce carbon emissions by 211,000 metric tons—the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing 38,600 passenger vehicles from the road for one year.
