Trailers equipped as described in the following tables meet the voluntary SmartWay
technical specifications for use of the US EPA Certified SmartWay mark.
A SmartWay Trailer demonstrates 6.5% or greater reduction in fuel consumption,
relative to a baseline trailer. See below for baseline trailer description. SmartWay
Trailer fuel savings assume trailer is used with a fully-aerodynamic profile, high-roof
tractor with integrated roof fairing and side fairings.
SmartWay Trailer fuel savings can be achieved by:
1. Aerodynamic improvements - 5% or greater fuel savings from reducing aerodynamic
drag. NOTE: Aerodynamic Manufacturers must comply with all applicable DOT
motor vehicle standards. Aerodynamic trailer features may consist of one of the
following configurations:
« Configuration A: Side skirt fairing; Front-mounted gap reducers; and Low-rolling
resistance tires
» Configurations B: Side skirt fairing; Rear-mounted tail fairing/ Boat tail; and Low-
rolling resistance tires
» Optional Total Aero Configuration: Side skirt fairing; Front-mounted gap
reducers; Rear-mounted tail fairing/ Boat tail; and Low-rolling resistance tires
» Configuration C\ Advanced Trailer End Fairing1 (this can be used with or without
other fairings - estimated fuel savings 5%) and Low-rolling resistance tires
» Configuration D\ Advanced Trailer Skirt1 (this can be used with or without other
fairings - estimated fuel savings 7%); and Low-rolling resistance tires
2. Low rolling resistance tires -1.5% or greater fuel savings from reducing tire rolling
resistance and lower weight. NOTE: Total vehicle fuel savings of 3% or greater,
achieved by using low rolling resistance tires on both the tractor and trailer.
3. Aluminum wheels and/or Weight reduction - Optional. For each 300 pounds
reduced, 0.2% or greater fuel savings are realized (or if weight-limited, payload
capacity can be increased.)2
How to verify a technology or vehicle design: Test Option
» Conduct a TMC/SAE Fuel Consumption Test Procedure - Type II, SAE Surface
Vehicle Recommended Practice J1321. Manufacturers must certify results in writing
to EPA, and must share all test information and test results with EPA upon request.
Test design, vehicles, payload, drive cycles, etc., must be consistent with EPA
determination of typical vehicle operation and consistent with EPA policy guidance.
» Visit: www.epa.gov/smartway for additional information about SmartWay.
1 Advanced trailer end fairings and skirts are advanced technologies that demonstrate greater
fuel savings than the standard equipment versions as a result of design changes made by the
manufacturer to improve the product.
For new trailers, weight savings can be achieved by using aluminum, composite, and/or other
light-weight components in the trailer.

US
for and
Promoting the Mark
The US EPA Certified SmartWay mark may be used in point-of-sale advertising (for on-site
locations and web sites) and promotional material (e.g. print advertising) of original
equipment manufacturers (OEM) of SmartWay qualified tractors and trailers. Media and
other interested parties may also use the SmartWay mark for articles or other educational
purposes. However, the mark may only be used in association with tractors and trailers that
have met the SmartWay technical specifications.
Only tractor and trailer manufacturers may use the SmartWay mark. Component
manufacturers (such as tire or aerodynamic add-on manufacturers) may not apply the US
EPA Certified SmartWay mark to their products, product packaging, on their sales web sites
or in their point-of-sale advertising.
The US EPA Certified SmartWay mark may also be applied, by the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM), to the interior of a qualified SmartWay tractor or a SmartWay trailer.
However, it may not be applied to the windows of a tractor or in any place on a tractor's
interior that is visible from the exterior.

The following communication guidelines will prevent misrepresentation and consumer
confusion.
"Earned" "Endorse"
"Qualified" "Rating"
"Meets SmartWay specifications" "Rated"
EPA recommends using words in the "correct" column to describe tractors and trailers which
meet the voluntary requirements for application of the SmartWay logo by OEMs. Text used
in advertising, articles, brochures, publications, annual reports, web sites, or any other
promotional material must never imply EPA endorsement of either the manufacturing
company or sponsoring organization.
