Hybrids, more so maybe. But, they need to be spec built for the right price.
My whole city fleet runs on CNG. The PO could do that in certain areas. These vehicles don't cost like hybrids and DuraCells do. The advantage is in fleet fueling.

route running cars are ideal for electrification, as there range and payload requirements are fixed and well known.
UPS, FedEX, and many other carriers are partially electrifying there fleets now ... nearly 10 years later.
