AUBURN HILLS, MI, April 30, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- ShipCarsNow today announced that it joined the SmartWaySM Transport Partnership, a innovative collaboration between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.
ShipCarsNow will contribute to the SmartWay'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 improving the environmental performance of our freight operations. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas, and nitrogen oxide is an air pollutant that contributes to smog. By joining SmartWay Transport Partnership, ShipCarsNow demonstrates its strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility.
"As part of Union Pacific, we are helping used car shippers to take advantage of rail transport, which is almost four times more fuel efficient that truck," said Jeff Grandstaff, general manager.
Launched in February 2004, the SmartWay Transport Partnership brings together major freight shippers, trucking companies, railroads, logistics companies and trade/professional associations to pursue mutually beneficial strategies that result in emissions reductions and other environmental improvements, as well as cost savings to the companies. The SmartWay Transport Partnership currently has over 2,600 Partners.
