Projects
This project will offer the industry a benchmark study of eight of the largest, more innovative fleets with respect to the use of products and practices to support high levels of fuel efficiency. Fleets in the study include CR England, Challenger Motor Freight, Con-way Truckload, Frito Lay, Gordon Trucking, Ryder, Schneider and Werner. It will provide a detailed report to each participating fleet comparing themselves to the other seven, confidential, fleets. An aggregated report will also be offered for sale to other fleets and suppliers and involved in improving the freight efficiency of North American goods movement.
Fleet Fuel Benchmark Project
This project will offer the industry a benchmark study of ten of the largest, more innovative fleets with respect to the use of products and practices to support high levels of fuel efficiency. It will provide a detailed report to each participating fleet comparing themselves to the other nine, confidential, fleets. The report will also be offered for sale to other fleets and suppliers and the individual fleet visit, study and comparison will be completed on an ongoing basis by the NACFE. This study findings are planned to be available in November 2011.
Sustainability Index
Shippers are beginning to require of carries that they have programs to improve their operations’ sustainability. This project will work with industry experts and engage stakeholders to create a common sustainability index. This common tool will allow fleets of any size to evaluate their sustainability and understand where they can make improvements.
California Regulations Education
California has enacted a ruling that requires SmartWay approved trailer aerodynamics in 1022/2012. There is much confusion existing in the marketplace. This project team would suggest how NACFE could create a process to help educate fleets on this regulation and offer ideas on how this could expand to other upcoming state and federal regulations.
