UPS has unveiled a battery-powered four-wheeled cycle to more efficiently haul cargo in some of the world's most congested streets and to reduce its carbon footprint. The slimmed-down vehicles look familiar enough with the company's gold-colored logo and accompanying stripe on a dark brown background.
UPS unveiled a battery-powered four-wheeled cycle that it is testing for deliveries in New York City and some cities in Europe. The company's goal is to more efficiently haul cargo in some of the country's most congested streets and reduce its carbon footprint. The sleek four-wheeled carts look familiar enough, but not even UPS knows precisely how to describe what could be the delivery giant's latest way to get packages to your door.
The pedal-powered vehicle was dwarfed by one of the company's more traditional delivery trucks, which rumble through traffic and sometimes draw the ire of motorists trying to get by parked trucks on narrow streets.
