Heavy Duty Trucking has honored 20 trucking operations as HDT Top Green Fleets for 2025.

These companies are leading the industry in sustainability, pursuing their “green” goals in areas such as fuel efficiency, alternative fuels, zero-emission options, and environmentally friendly facilities. 

Each year, HDT’s editors put out a call for nominations and fleet submissions to be considered for HDT Top Green Fleet honors. We comb through those submissions and look at factors such as:

• Adoption of alternative fuels such as natural gas and renewable fuels

• Using zero-emission trucks such as battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell

• Industry-leading fuel economy

• Freight-efficiency strategies

• Leading-edge “green” facilities

• Sustainability goals

• Willingness to share their experience with others

Special attention is given to initiatives in the past year and to plans for the coming year.

HDT’s Top Green Fleets awards started in 2013. This year’s honorees are featured in the March/April print edition of Heavy Duty Trucking. Most of this year’s honorees have been named an HDT Top Green Fleet multiple times.
