Roehl Transport has been honored with a SmartWay® Excellence Award by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the third year in a row. Receiving this honor means Roehl represents the top one to two percent of environmentally-responsible SmartWay carriers that conduct freight operations with lower emissions and less energy.
As a founding member of the SmartWay Program, Roehl’s efforts range from investments in equipment and infrastructure and how the company’s employees do their jobs, noted Greg Koepel, Roehl Transport Vice President.
The EPA’s SmartWay Transport Partnership empowers businesses to move goods in the cleanest, most energy-efficient way possible, while protecting public health and reducing the impacts of climate change.
“As the SmartWay program completes its 12th year, EPA recognizes its top carrier partners for their commitment to an efficient and environmentally responsible freight transportation supply chain,” said Christopher Grundler, Director of EPA’s Office of Transportation & Air Quality, “These award-winning SmartWay carriers demonstrate companies can compete and thrive while lowering fuel costs and shrinking their carbon footprint.”
Roehl was only one of 43 carriers to receive the SmartWay Award in 2016. The EPA announced the awardees at the 2016 American Trucking Association’s Annual Management Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
