SmartWay Designated Tractors and Trailers
Finding the right truck is critical to maximizing freight efficiency – using a SmartWay designated tractor and trailer can reduce fuel use by up to 20 percent 2,000 to 4,000 gallons of diesel per year!
SmartWay and SmartWay Elite Trailers
There are two levels of designation for trailers:
- SmartWay; and
- SmartWay Elite.
Both trailers use verified low rolling resistance tires – the difference is the level of aerodynamics and the resulting total fuel savings.
The specifications are summarized in the table below:
| SmartWay Trailer | SmartWay Elite Trailer | |
|---|---|---|
| Tires | Verified Low Rolling Resistance Tires (1% fuel savings) | |
| Aerodynamic Devices | One or more devices (at least 5% fuel savings) |
