    In 2004, Addison purchased its first Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) to replace a standard pickup truck.  We now have 10 HEVs in our fleet, resulting in a fuel usage savings of 50% over the vehicles that were replaced.  We continue to monitor the technological advances in alternative fueled vehicles.  For now, hybrid technology is the way to go.  Hydrogen vehicles are on the horizon and we'll be looking at what possibilities may be available there as well.
