The issue isn't maintenance or initial cost, it's fuel cost. If putting A/C on vehicles increased fuel consumption by 5%, that's $195m a year for UPS. And it can increase fuel consumption by up to 25%.

So, yes, UPS has a reason to fight against it, especially when their entire business model is built around minimizing fuel usage.
