In an effort to become more environmentally conscious and responsible, AT&T has decided to add several trucks to its fleet that are fueled with alternative forms of energy.
AT&T has a huge fleet of existing trucks that workers use to repair and maintain the massive communications infrastructure it has all over the world. And, just like everybody else is doing, AT&T is looking for ways to save money on fuel with rising gas prices. Adding more than 100 new trucks is one way to accomplish that goal.
This month, the communications company plans to institute the new plan. On the list of new fuel-efficient vehicles includes dozens of Ford trucks, particularly the Escape hybrids. AT&T has already used Escape hybrids since the end of last year.
AT&T is just one company switching over to more environmentally-conscious vehicles. Many fleets are slow to make the switch because they are simply replacing the older vehicles when they are no longer usable. Others are making a more immediate switch by getting rid of the existing vehicles and replacing them with the newer trucks. It’s nice to see that some companies are trying to be more responsible. Hopefully, this is a trend that catches on for more companies and individuals, too.
