Enviro Trucks &
Smart Way:
The Management and Employees of Keltic believe in a healthy
environment for today and future generations. We continue to
show our commitment towards the environment by purchasing equipment
that meets or exceeds the standards set to achieve significant
reductions in green house gas emissions.
This includes purchasing late model trucks
that achieve the latest emission standards, the purchase of over 40
auxiliary power units (APU’s) which reduce engine idling for
our trucks, introducing trailer belly fairings which improve fuel
mileage, the installation of low profile tires which also improve
fuel mileage. In addition, we have reduced our maximum truck speed
to 105km and introduced an incentive program for our drivers and
owner operators which rewards them for lowering engine idle time
and average truck speed.
In 2009, Keltic was approved by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency as a “SmartWay”
approved carrier. SmartWay Transport is an innovative
collaboration between EPA and the freight sector designed to
improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas and air pollutant
emissions, and improve energy security. There are only a handful of
Canadian carriers who have applied for and been approved as a
SmartWay Transport partner.
