Navistar recently announced its recognition as a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) High Performer in the SmartWay Program’s Shipper category. According to the press release, the EPA’s SmartWay Program helps companies advance supply chain sustainability by measuring, benchmarking and improving freight transportation efficiency.
The EPA’s SmartWay Program provides a comprehensive system for tracking fuel use and freight emissions across supply chains; helps companies identify more efficient freight carriers, transport modes, equipment, and operational strategies; supports global energy security; and reduces emissions by accelerating the use of advanced fuel-saving technologies.
Navistar’s designation as a High Performer in the Shipper category is defined by the EPA as partner fleets that fall into the upper performance ranges of efficiency and/or air quality for various pollution metrics, according to the press release. The Shipper High Performers meet the previous year’s award semifinalist criteria based on the ability to demonstrate 98% of miles or ton-miles shipped with SmartWay Partners and environmental performance based on a weighted average of environmental metrics results, the company said.
