If anyone has a beat on the future of trucking, it’s Mike Britt, director of maintenance and engineering for international operations at UPS, the world’s largest package delivery service.
Britt oversees the company’s international truck fleet spread across more than 220 countries and territories and helps determine what and how UPS drives. Under Britt’s watch as the shipping giant’s alternative fuel technology czar, Britt has UPS treading the cutting edge of green and autonomous technology, adding 7,000 alternative fuel and advanced technology trucks to its global fleet; experimenting with autonomous trucking; and supporting Zipline, a California-based robotics company that’s using drones to deliver vaccines, blood, and medical supplies to Rwanda.
