"Our environmental impact extends from our supply chain to the use of our products," said Mike Robinson, vice president of Sustainability and Global Regulatory Affairs. "This EPA SmartWay Partnership provides a useful tool to help our company and carriers - who already share our environmental commitment - to reduce emissions and save fuel and money."
GM will collect its shipping activity data, including which carriers the company uses to ship freight, the number of miles traveled and freight weight. Combining this information with carrier data, including equipment and service type, GM and its SmartWay partner carriers can develop plans to further reduce carbon emissions.
GM will encourage its logistics carriers that are not part of the SmartWay partnership to become members and take advantage of tips and training to help save fuel and money, and reduce air pollution and emissions that contribute to climate change.
