What's New in this version?
Version 2.0.18 of the Logistics Company Partner Tool contains a number of updates and revisions to the
prior version, 2.0.17. These updates have been implemented to enhance the usefulness and clarity of the
Tool, and are summarized below:
^ US EPA secured the World Resources Institute (WRI) to conduct a review of the underlying
methodology, calculation process and supporting technical documentation of the SmartWay Logistics
Tool, and it was found to be in conformance with the requirements set forth in the GHG Protocol
Corporate Accounting Standard. New outputs are now available in the optional report section of the Tool
providing Scope 3, biogenic, and non-carbon emissions for public disclosure, consistent with WRI and
Carbon Disclosure Project requirements.
The following SmartWay Truck Carrier Categories can now select Data Availability Option d on the
Activity screen, allowing partners to just report miles travelled for these fleets:
¦	Expedited
¦	Heavy/Bulk
¦	Mixed
¦	Specialized
The average payload values included in the carrier data file have been updated to reflect actual Shipper
payload distributions (formerly based on reported carrier distributions).
The validation ranges that determine if a payload entered by the user is out of range of typical industry
values have been updated.
The basis for calculating emissions (miles or ton-miles) have been updated, depending upon the carrier's
SmartWay Category, as follows:
¦	Auto carriers - miles
¦	Drayage - miles
¦	Expedited - miles
¦	Flatbed - miles
¦	General (non-SmartWay only) - ton-miles
¦	Heavy/bulk - miles
¦	LTL - ton-miles
¦	Mixed - ton-miles

¦	Moving - miles
¦	Multimodal - ton-miles
¦	Package - ton-miles
¦	Refrigerated - ton-miles
¦	Specialized - miles
¦	Tanker-miles
¦	TL/Dry Van - ton-miles
The composite-level emissions factor calculations now divide mass emissions by distance and are no
longer weighted by carrier ton-miles.
The composite-level average payload calculations now divide total ton-miles by total miles and is no
longer weighted by carrier ton-miles.
The import and export screens have been updated to allow users to import/export an XLSX file type (in
addition to the CSV file type allowed previously).
Miscellaneous text and format updates for clarification.
