Over the past decade, technologies have made unprecedented impacts on improving supply chain freight efficiency. The SmartWay Technology Program has verified numerous innovative technologies, which fleets are adopting because of their rapid return on investment.

EPA-verified technologies save fuel and reduce emissions for tractors, trailers, and locomotives. EPA verifies aerodynamic devices, idling reduction equipment, and new and retread low rolling resistance tires. EPA also designates tractors and trailers equipped with certain combinations of EPA-verified technologies as SmartWay Tractors and Trailers.

Fleet managers, technology manufacturers, and equipment dealers can all benefit from learning about SmartWay Verified Technologies.

Information for Fleet Managers

Fleet managers can purchase SmartWay Verified Technologies directly from manufacturers and dealers. These technologies are designed to improve fleet efficiency.

• Review SmartWay Verified Lists of:
  • Aerodynamic Devices for trailers
  • Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) New and Retread Tire Technologies for tractors and trailers
  • Idling Reduction Technologies (IRTs) for trucks and school buses
  • Idling Reduction Technologies (IRTs) for locomotives

You can also purchase tractors or trailers pre-packaged with these technologies.

• Learn about SmartWay Tractors and Trailers

You do not have to be a SmartWay Partner to purchase SmartWay Verified Technologies. However, there are many benefits for fleets that join the SmartWay Transport Partnership.

• Overview of the SmartWay Verification Process for Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) Tires and Retread Technologies for Tractors or Trailers
• Overview of the SmartWay Verification Process for Idling Reduction Technologies (IRTs) for Locomotives

EPA encourages manufacturers and dealers to tell their customers about their SmartWay Verified Technologies.

If you manufacture, sell, or lease equipment that has been verified by SmartWay, EPA encourages you to promote your EPA-verified SmartWay technologies using specific guidelines.

Please note: manufacturers and dealers of SmartWay verified technologies cannot use the SmartWay logo.

EPA values the participation of technology manufacturers that provide high-performing equipment that helps SmartWay Partners meet freight sustainability goals. However, to ensure clarity for the public, EPA does not allow manufacturers to use the SmartWay mark on marketing materials as this may be perceived as an endorsement of the product. EPA verification only signifies that the equipment meets efficiency standards set by the Agency; it does not mean EPA promotes or endorses the product itself.
