Logistics technology company Transplace, PepsiCo, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and others recently released a survey of more than 65 transportation carriers to gain insight into the implementation of EPA’s SmartWay program and other fleet fuel efficiency initiatives.
The survey results were presented during the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals’ annual conference in October.
Of the initiatives studied, the highest return on investment came from highway speed reduction, driver training and progressive shifting. These actions, along with recording engine data for greater driver feedback, were the most commonly implemented among the carriers surveyed.
