Improving Air Quality
Ryder has reduced the amount of sulfur emitted from diesel powered engines by providing ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel at all U.S. fueling operations. Ryder also provides biodiesel supplies in areas where this fuel is mandated by regulation. Ryder has also worked with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and vehicle engine manufacturers to provide customers with a "green" truck alternative - RydeGreen™.
RydeGreen™, a line of tractors and trailers, is designed to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The tractors are built to meet the demands of long-haul trucking and come equipped with special features that have earned them the EPA's SmartWay® designation. Specifically configured trailer packages offer aerodynamic features and weight-saving options that further enhance fuel efficiency. For more information, visit www.ryder.com/greentruck.
