| First Hybrid Big Rig Wal-Mart Helps Peterbilt Develop World's First Hybrid Big Rig 5/24/07 ![]() A little less than four months ago, the world's largest retail chain, Wal-Mart,announced that it would be launching an environmental plan to reduce its environmental footprint. “Sustainability 360”, as it's called, outlines a number of different sub-projects, such as reducing the amount of packaging that it uses for its products, and selling (and using) energy-efficient lighting. Not surprisingly, a good deal of the plan focused on the transportation side of things. Wal-Mart has requested that its suppliers cut down on the amount of packaging, citing that a 5-percent reduction would be the equivalent of taking 213,000 trucks off the road, and thereby saving 67 million gallons of diesel fuel per year. Perhaps the most significant part about this is that Wal-Mart has actually taken things into their own hands, and has pledged to make its fleet of trucks more efficient. article*Photos |
