Logistics is a dirty industry. The U.S. is one of the largest carbon emitters in the world, and the movement of vehicles is the number one source of those emissions. Freight trucks are responsible for about 23% of overall transportation in America, making these diesel-burning vehicles responsible for a whole lot of ozone-threatening emissions. Consumers are becoming more aware of both the urgency of climate change and the complexities of the supply chain, while transportation companies are feeling the pressure to address the industry’s impact on Mother Earth.
