FedEx Express and Environmental Defense (who produced the hybrid trucks) were awarded with the Blue Sky Award in Los Angeles today. The reward was presented for the recent addition of 18 hybrid trucks to the FedEx fleet in 2004. The trucks reduced particulate emissions by 97% and increase fuel efficiency by 57%.

According to the WestStart-CALSTART website:
The Blue Sky Award is an international designation presented each year to companies, organizations or individuals selected for making outstanding contributions to clean air, energy efficiency and to the advanced transportation industry.
The advanced transportation technologies consortium, WestStart, and its California operating division, CALSTART, present the Blue Sky Award to formally recognize - and reward - outstanding contributions not only to develop clean vehicles and technologies, but also to actively bring them to the marketplace. The Blue Sky Award is specifically designed to recognize not just leadership and innovation in technology for clean, sustainable transportation, but a significant commitment to its use.
