Hendrickson joins U.S. EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership
ITASCA, Ill. – Hendrickson announced that
four of its divisions, Truck Suspension Systems, Trailer Suspension Systems,
Auxiliary Axle Systems and Bumper and Trim, have joined the
SmartWaySM Transport Partnership. This is an innovative collaboration
between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the freight industry,
designed to increase energy efficiency while significantly reducing greenhouse
gases and air pollution.
Hendrickson will
contribute to the Partnership’s goal to reduce 33 to 66 million metric tons of
carbon dioxide and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide per year by 2012 by

smog. By joining SmartWay Transport

responsibility.

partner with SmartWay Transport and to continue in doing our part to achieve our
collective goal of reducing greenhouse gases and air
pollution." said, Baine Adams, vice
