Dupre Logistics has recently added SmartWay-certified tractors to its fleet.


"Although the SmartWay tractors are a larger investment, I believe that the payoff is far greater in fuel efficiency," said Tom Voelkel, Dupre president and chief operating officer. "As part of our continued commitment to 'Always Forward Thinking' Dupre prides itself on being an early adopter of this new, efficient technology."

The company expects to add SmartWay-certified tractors to their fleet over time, including 100 in the next year. These models are designed to reduce emissions through aerodynamic equipment, engine standards, tire maintenance and idle control.

While freight transportation is invaluable to businesses, consumers, and the economy, the EPA has partnered with the trucking industry to minimize the carbon impact it has on the environment by developing performance specifications for SmartWay tractors.
