It’s just another reason CR England is setting the bar high in the trucking industry (see here).  The SmartWay brand is a ground-breaking collaboration between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and partners throughout the freight and transportation industries.

The objective of the partnership is to increase energy efficiency while simultaneously significantly reducing greenhouse gases and air pollution.  More specifically, the partnership hopes to reduce between 33 and 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide by 2012.  Not only will this (obviously) benefit the environment but the partnership can also yield significant cost savings to partner companies by providing fuel-efficient vehicles and equipment.

Formed in 2004, SmartWay includes partnerships with a myriad of other trucking companies, railroads, logistics firms, and various industry-related professional associations.
