Cynically I agree that it is likely to be UPS offering up a bit of greenwash for adverts and corporate publications though looking at the spread of times would it be for the ultra-quick deliveries where you get the stuff within hours?
I understood that rail wasn’t as competitive as superficially thought as most deliveries are overnight/early morning when traffic isn’t an issue.
Don't underestimate the amount of traffic on the roads through the night though, I last car commuted to London, solely because of the unsocial hours, as far back as 2000 and the only period that I found to be traffic jam free then was around 0200 to 0400, on the mornings that I drove home from Old Oak if I didn't get away by 0445 it could take me 90 minutes or more to do 35 miles, no doubt that traffic may not be an issue in some areas but it most certainly is in major areas like London
