Efficient Vehicles

Publix continues to work with our truck manufacturers to get the highest miles per gallon possible for all of our delivery trucks. In less than two years, we have decreased miles traveled by our trucks by more than 28,000 miles per week and our greenhouse gas emissions by about 2,500 tons.

We've examined our truck routes to reduce empty miles on the road, wear and tear on our vehicles, and increase fuel savings. We've changed the way we load our trailers to put more items on each truck and increase efficient use of truck space.

We have 1,200 light duty cars, trucks and vans in our fleet, and are moving to using the most efficient traditional car models for this fleet. We've also been adding more gas-electric hybrids to our fleet. We currently have over 170 hybrids, 331 flex fuel vehicles, and one global electric motorcar and will add to this figure in the future.
