logistics companies, truck, rail, barge and
multimodal carriers (including many Fortune

SmartWay si nee 2 004.
2. Why is freight transportation efficiency
important?
In the U.S., freight transport accounts for
16 percent of greenhouse gas emissions,

freight transport emissions are on track to
increase nearly 40 percent.

partners achieved?

eliminated 72.8 million metric tons of C02,
1,458,000 tons of nitrogen oxides and 59,000
tons of particulate matter. They've saved
170.3 million barrels of oil and $24.9 billion
in fuel costs. This is equivalentto eliminating
annual energy use in over 6 million homes.
6. How do SmartWay automotive partners make a
difference for customers and stakeholders?
