YRC Worldwide Companies Recognized as 2020 SmartWay High Performers
September 18 2020 - 9:37AM
(NASDAQ: YRCW) The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s
SmartWay program has named the YRC Worldwide companies as 2020 High
Performers. Companies earn this recognition through achieving
significant freight efficiencies that merit special attention based
on their annual emissions report.
More than 4,000 affiliates use SmartWay to benchmark their
emissions and share data with their supply chain partners. SmartWay
is considered the gold standard in freight efficiency
modeling. The YRCW organization is a Charter Partner of the
SmartWay program and has been participating continuously since
2004.
The EPA’s SmartWay program helps companies advance supply chain
sustainability by measuring, benchmarking and improving freight
transportation efficiency. Its annual list of High Performers
recognizes its partners that are leading the freight industry in
producing more efficient and sustainable supply chain
transportation solutions.
“The YRC team is proud to have been named a 2020 SmartWay High
Performer for emissions performance,” said CEO Darren Hawkins. “We
plan to build on this recognition as we are well underway in
planning our largest fleet refresh in company history for 2020 and
2021, onboarding new trucks equipped with the most advanced
emissions reductions and safety technologies.”
“Through my work with YRC and as the current chair of the
American Trucking Associations Environmental Policy Committee, I
have seen the dedication and drive of the EPA SmartWay team
firsthand,” said T.J. O’Connor, YRCW Chief Operating
Officer. “Our company and the entire freight industry value
SmartWay’s contributions and partnership as we work toward reducing
emissions and building a sustainable supply chain.”
In notifying YRCW of this award, the EPA commended the
organization for its continued efforts as a SmartWay Partner and
its contribution to a more efficient, productive, and sustainable
freight industry. SmartWay recognized the YRCW companies in the
multimodal carriers category, which move goods using different
modes, such as truck and rail, and provide their services under a
single contract.
