The SmartWay Transport Partnership
Partnership between EPA and industry stakeholders
to drive demand for cleaner, more fuel-efficient
transportation

• 2012 Goals
• 150 million barrels of oil each year (12 million
  cars off the road)
• 33-66 million metric tons CO2 annually
• SmartWay for the Freight Sector
• Capitalizing on shipper-carrier relationship to
  promote cost-effective strategies
• idle control, single wide tires, improved
  aerodynamics, PM/NOx after treatment devices
• Over 650 Partners committing to reduce emissions
• truck and rail operators, freight shippers,
  logistics companies, technology vendors and
  manufacturers, trucks stops, ports, banks, dealer
  and service centers
• SmartWay certified tractors and trailers
• SmartWay for Consumers
• www.epa.gov/greenvehicles
• SmartWay certified passenger cars light trucks
• SmartWay Grow Go renewable fuels

What are the commitments?

• Freight industry
• Companies that own trucks, locomotives (Carriers)
  agree to integrate innovative fuel and emission
  savings technologies into their freight
  operations
• Companies that hire Carriers (Shippers) agree to
  do at least 50 of their business with SmartWay
  Carriers
• gtgtgt Carrier and Shipper partners are given a
  score based on performance
• Tailored commitments from logistics companies,
  technology vendors and manufacturers, trucks
  stops, ports, banks, dealer and service centers
• USEPA
• Guidance and measurement tools
• Technology research and demonstration
• Project and policy facilitation
• Innovative financing
• Marketing and recognition

Idle Reduction Technologies For Trucks and
Locomotives

• Average fuel savings Emissions Controlled
• Trucks 4 liters/hr CO2, NOx, and PM
• Rail 12 - 45 liters/hr
• Automatic Shut-Down/Start Up System
• Battery Powered Systems
• Diesel Driven Heating System
• Auxiliary Power Unit/Generator Set
• Truck Stop Electrification

5
Low Rolling Resistance Tires Single Wide Base and
Improved Duals

• Average fuel savings Emissions Controlled
• Trucks 4 - 5 CO2, NOx
• Single-wide tires and aluminum wheels
• Reduced rolling resistance
• Reduced weight
• Low rolling resistance duals can be as effective
• as singles

6
Trailer Aerodynamics

• Average fuel savings Emissions Controlled
• Trucks 5 CO2, NOx
• Trailer Fairings, Side-skirts
• Nose Cone and Trailer Tail

7
The SmartWay Truck
A SmartWay Truck is 20 to 25 more efficient than
an average truck on the road today.

Other Strategies for Carriers

• Engine efficiency (power)
• Proper maintenance
• Speed management
• Automatic tire inflation
• Low-viscosity lubricants
• Driver behavior training
• Better routing
• Improved pickup and delivery scheduling
• Weight reduction
• Improved logistics e.g. fuller loads

Case Studies Carrier Partners

• Bison Transports Fuel Economy Incentive Program
• All trucks (500) equipped with onboard computer
  and satellite communication system enabling Bison
  to track each unit and driver
• Fuel economy benchmark for each trailer type
• Bonuses paid to drivers that exceed target
• based on 3-month average fuel economy to average
  out weather, load, routing factors
• Results 3 fuel economy improvement
• Con-Way Truckload Efficient Tire Program
• Purchased 750 tractors and 100 trailers with low
  rolling resistance, wide-based tires (out of
  2500 tractors, 7000 trailers)
• 40 incremental cost improvement of 2/10 to 3/10
  of a mile per gallon
• Paid back after 2500 miles
• Close to achieving 100 single-wide tires
• Expected to save 4.6M per year
• Stylines Idle Reduction Program
• Auxilary power units, engine shutdown devices,
  truck stop electrification, no idling policies in
  loading zones, bypassing weigh stations
• Expected to save 1.3M per yer (150 tractors,
  300 trailers)

Other Strategies for Shippers

• Driver comfort stations
• Warehouse improvements
• Improved pickup and delivery scheduling
• Weight reduction
• Improved logistics e.g. fuller loads

15
Case Studies Shipper Partners

• Ikea 100 SmartWay Carriers (30 new SmartWay
  Partners)
• Visits SmartWay Carriers to review strategies
• Sharp Electronics Highlights
• Ships 99 of freight with SmartWay carriers
• No idling policy at loading docks
• Reducing emissions from forklifts
• Pioneering work with ocean-going vessels
  (cold-ironing, speed reduction)
• Lowes Highlights
• Increased intermodal shipping by over 4000
  shipments per year
• Reduced 36,000 truckloads and 25 million miles
  per year by increasing full use of trailers
