“Ryder strives to enhance our leadership in freight supply chain environmental performance and energy efficiency,” says Steve W. Martin, senior vice president of Ryder’s dedicated transportation solutions business. “Our environmental programs reflect our commitment to conserve resources and associated costs, while investing in our buildings, fleet, and emerging technology to enhance operational efficiencies.”

Ryder ranks within the top 2% amongst thousands of SmartWay truck carriers. SmartWay partners, including shippers, truck carriers, and logistics service providers, report efficiency and air quality performance data to EPA annually, and the EPA aggregates and divides the data, assigning performance ratings. SmartWay “High Performers” are partners whose efficiency and/or air quality performance falls within the top-ranked performance range.

Ryder has been a SmartWay partner since 2006 and supports customers with a series of coordinated measures to reduce their carbon footprint and emissions to SmartWay standards. The company has been honored with SmartWay Excellence Awards in 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2021; the SmartWay Affiliate Challenge Award in 2014; and recognized as a SmartWay “High Performer” in 2020.
