Have you ever asked yourself Who manufactures the brown UPS trucks?
Well,
UPS currently has over 88,000 "Big Brown" delivery trucks in its fleet, all with no visible manufacturer logos. Why? Because every design aspect of the UPS truck, from the hubcap to the tail light, is proprietary.
It is suggested that UPS trucks are built by an automotive manufacturing firm called Grumman Olson. An unofficial corporate history of Grumman seemed to back this up:
"1966 - Grumman teams up with UPS to develop the now familiar UPS P-600 and P-800 truck bodies, featuring lift-up fiberglass hoods and translucent fiberglass roofs."
Also: Have you ever seen the top of a UPS truck??
Well it's whote...or has a white stipe...Why?
Here's a e-mail I found....
Dear UPS Customer:
Thank you for your inquiry. The tops of UPS trucks are white to reflect
the sun. This helps to maintain a cooler temperature within the truck.
We hope this information is helpful. If we may be of future assistance,
please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for using UPS Internet Services.
