Posted By GetGreen On June 25, 2008 @ 8:39 pm In Windows & Doors | 1 Comment

Pella ^[1] announced it is now a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s (EPA) SmartWay Transport Partnership program ^[2].

The SmartWay Transport Partnership is an innovative collaboration between EPA and the freight industry to increase energy efficiency while striving to reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.

Because of three-year commitments to upgrade their trucks with auxiliary power units, energy-efficient tires, enhanced trailer aerodynamics, and other improvements, the EPA estimates SmartWay partners are saving 600 million gallons of diesel fuel ? a cost benefit of almost $2 billion ?and eliminating nearly seven million metric tons of carbon-dioxide emissions that can contribute to global warming.

EPA launched SmartWay in 2004 to address the environmental and economic challenges surrounding growth in the freight industry. Through the program, EPA is now working with more than 600 businesses to improve both their bottom line and the environment by offering technical assistance, tools for evaluating opportunities to lower fuel use and emissions, and help in locating financing for the purchase of fuel-saving equipment and technology.

Pella received the accreditation for its responsible management of transportation partners and private fleet and committing to improve the environmental performance of freight operations.

Pella?s goals as a new SmartWay Partner include:

Seeking and contracting truck loads with SmartWay Partners.
Communicating to those in the transportation industry Pella?s status as a SmartWay Partner.
Developing a ?no idling? policy for carriers parking at Pella sites.
Incorporating an internal SmartWay Partner educational program for Pella?s more than 50 logistics employees around the country.
