Continental Tire's HSL (premium long-haul steer tire), HDL Eco Plus (premium long-haul drive tire), and HTL (all-position trailer tire) have all been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for meeting the SmartWay
Tractor-Trailer equipment specifications.
Eligibility for this specification is based on a comprehensive set of tire performance requirements including environmental design and fuel consumption performance.
The SmartWay Transport Partnership is a collaboration between the EPA and the freight industry to increase energy efficiency while significantly reducing greenhouse gases and air pollution. Specifically, by 2012, the SmartWay Transport Partnership aims to save between 3.3 and 6.6 billion gallons of diesel fuel per year, the equivalent to taking about 12 million cars off the road. These savings translate to nearly $10 billion saved for companies delivering freight in the U.S.
