   Project Description

   Styline Transportation, Inc. is dedicated to improving its fleet's fuel efficiency and reducing air emissions. They
   recognize that one key mechanism through which these goals can be reached is idling reduction.  The company
   currently has 14 trucks with auxiliary power units, 23 trucks using truck stop electrification, and 118 trucks
   bypassing weigh stations.  Combined, these strategies are saving Styline 86,442 gallons of diesel fuel per
   year. At the current price of diesel, this amounts to cost savings of approximately $191,000!

   Over the next three years, Styline plans to decrease their idling even further.  The company plans to increase
   the use of auxiliary power units by installing 75 additional units on their trucks.  In addition, Styline will
   continue bypassing weigh stations and plans to install engine shutdown devices on all of their company
   trucks.  The implementation of these strategies will save Styline an additional 527,032 gallons of diesel fuel,
   which amounts to cost savings of approximately $1.12 million!

   In addition to implementing the strategies described above, Styline Industries, in conjunction with Indiana
   Department Environmental Management (IDEM), is instituting a no-idling policy for all  loading operations.  Due
   to their environmental excellence, Styline has qualified to use the SmartWay Transport Partner logo, which they
   plan to place on their no-iding signs around their loading areas to educate drivers and employees  about their
   participation in the  Partnership.
