You Don’t Know The Truth!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

UPS trucks are some of the most recognizable vehicles on the road. With their distinctive brown paint job and large size, they stand out from other delivery trucks. But who makes these trucks? Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPS <\/a>has been working with truck manufacturer Navistar for over 20 years. <\/strong>Navistar is one of the largest truck manufacturers in the world and has a long history of producing quality vehicles. UPS has been very happy with the trucks produced by Navistar and has no plans to switch to another manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navistar produces a variety of trucks for UPS, including the International XT line of pickups and delivery trucks. These trucks are built specifically for UPS and are designed to meet the unique needs of the company. UPS has been using these trucks since they were first introduced in 2004 and they have proven to be very reliable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/span>UPS Vehicles & Trucks<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UPS Package Cars: <\/strong>These are the familiar brown trucks that make daily deliveries. Most weigh between 10,000 and 14,000 pounds and can carry a maximum of 800 pounds. The average UPS package car gets 7.9 miles per gallon. There are about 99,000 package cars in the UPS fleet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPS Freightliner Sprinter vans: <\/strong>These vans are used for commercial and residential deliveries in metropolitan areas. They get an average of 18 miles per gallon thanks to their diesel-electric hybrid engines. There are nearly 8,000 Freightliner Sprinter vans in the UPS fleet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPS Cargo vans: <\/strong>These vans are mostly used by UPS drivers who make pickups rather than deliveries. The vans have been specially outfitted with racks and bins to make it easier for drivers to organize packages for pickup. There are more than 4,000 cargo vans in the UPS fleet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>UPS Trucks from Freightliner Trucks<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another sizable chunk of UPS’s truck fleet comes from Freightliner Trucks, another well-known American truck manufacturer. Freightliner is a subsidiary of Daimler AG, a German multinational corporation that also owns Mercedes-Benz. <\/strong>In addition to building vehicles for UPS, Freightliner also manufactures buses, locomotives, and other commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The Rest of UPS’s Truck Fleet<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The remainder of UPS’s truck fleet is made up of vehicles from other manufacturers, including but not limited to Ford, Chevrolet, Isuzu, and Ram Trucks (formerly Dodge Ram). While Mitsubishi Fuso and Freightliner are responsible for the vast majority of UPS trucks on the road today, it’s important to remember that UPS also relies on other companies to keep its delivery operations running smoothly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
