Con-way Truckload lowers top speed of fleet to 65 mph

Con-way Truckload announced Wednesday, May 7, that it has reduced the maximum governed speed of its 2,700-tractor fleet from 70 to 65 mph in support of an enterprisewide sustainability initiative at parent company Con-way Inc. By adjusting its fleet to run at the lower maximum highway speed, the company expects to save 2.8 million gallons of diesel fuel per year, while reducing annual carbon emissions by about 62 million pounds. The savings represent the equivalent of removing 6,300 passenger cars from America's highways.

"Lowering our speed governors is a major step for us, and one of many that we're taking toward conserving fuel and supporting Con-way's enterprisewide sustainability initiative,” said Herb Schmidt, president of Joplin, Mo.-based Con-way Truckload. "We're always looking for new ways to reduce carbon emissions and our impact on the environment, while maintaining profitability for our stakeholders and the same top-notch service our customers expect.”

Always looking for ways to lower carbon emissions LMAO That must be why they done such a HUGE buy of "pre" emissions change trucks.

This guy has NO scruples. He as bad as any politician.

Why not just tell the truth.
