By 2012, the SmartWay program expects to be reducing emissions equivalent to 150 million barrels of oil annually with the help of over 1000 partners. We don’t expect to get many owner-operators joining the SmartWay program with talk about saving the environment, but what about saving your checkbook? Purchasing SmartWay recommended equipment can save you over $5,000 a year on fuel.
SmartWay Recommended Technology
Owner-Operators can reduce their fuel expenses with the following equipment:
-Idle Reduction Technology
- Auxiliary power units
- Generator sets
- Battery HVAC systems
- Direct fired heaters
-Low Resistance Tires
-Tractor and Trailer Aerodynamics
-Exhaust Aftertreatment Devices
Immediate Profits
Fuel saving is great, but the initial cost of purchasing the equipment is often outside of the typical owner-operator’s budget. However, SmartWay has you covered with loans to purchase the upgrades. After monthly loan payments, owner-operators can expect to save hundreds of dollars every month with a SmartWay Upgrade Kit installed.
