SmartWay Transport Partnership

[1] SmartWay aims to voluntarily achieve improved fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impacts from freight transport.

The Partnership was officially launched on February 9, 2004, with the support of 15 charter members and the backing of the American Trucking Associations.

[1] Partnership members are encouraged to improve fuel savings and reduce emissions in several ways.

Freight carriers may upgrade their truck fleet with various fuel saving technologies and idle reduction methods.

By 2012, the SmartWay Transport Partnership aimed to save between 3.3 and 6.6 billion gallons of diesel fuel per year, which translates to eliminating between 33 - 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions and up to 200,000 tons of nitrous oxide emissions per year.
