United Parcel Service, Inc. is a package delivery company, which engages in the provision of global supply chain management solutions. It operates through the following segments: U.S. Domestic Package, International Package, and Supply Chain Solutions. The U.S. Domestic Package segment includes time-definite delivery of letters, documents, and packages. The International Package segment focuses on delivery and shipments in Europe, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East, Africa, Canada, and Latin America. The Supply Chain Solutions is involved in forwarding, logistics, Coyote, Marken, and UPS Mail Innovations. The company was founded by James E. Casey and Claude Ryan on August 28, 1907 and is headquartered in Atlanta, GA.

The deal puts sustainability front and center for the mail company. United Parcel Service is taking flight with a fleet of 10 electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft—or eVTOLs, for short—that will be tested in several small-to-medium-sized markets across the country.

UPS is testing electric helicopter mail carriers

UPS (NYSE: UPS) will take delivery of 10 Beta Technologies electric aircraft for use in small and midsize markets, with an option to purchase up to 150 of the planes in all. The package giant, which already has more than 12,000 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles in its global fleet, with an order for 10,000 electric delivery vans from Arrival (NASDAQ: ARVL), will receive the first batch of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in 2024.

UPS Deliveries to Reach New Heights With Beta Technologies' Electric Vertical Aircraft

Source: Beta Technologies Four fixed propellers provide vertical lift while one propeller pushes the aircraft forward. One sector that UPS says would benefit from the reduced delivery times is healthcare providers. Some medicines, like vaccines, have a short shelf-life and need to get to their destinations quicker than other merchandise. The eVTOLs can be recharged in under an hour, allowing for quick turnaround times in between flights while cargo is loaded and unload. Once the first life cycle of the aircraft's batteries is used up, they can be fitted to charging stations to charge aircraft and UPS' fleet of electric vehicles. Electric aircraft also have the benefit of being quiet and emission-free while in flight. UPS already achieved the required certification to fly the eVTOLs when the Federal Aviation Administration gave UPS Flight Forward "certification to operate a drone airline." The FAA allows UPS to fly payloads of up to 7,500 pounds, well beyond the ALIA-250c's carrying capability of 1,400 pounds. The Alia-250c aircraft will be piloted but may be operated autonomously in the future. UPS also has authorization for autonomous flights. UPS' eVTOL fleet also won't look like its all-brown delivery trucks. Renderings show the aircraft painted in the same colors as UPS Airlines, a mostly white exterior with the company's signature brown towards the rear fuselage with a yellow stripe. Here it is on a UPS Airlines Boeing 747-8F. UPS' commitment to eVTOLs follows a $1 billion order from United Airlines of similar aircraft from Archer.
