ExxonMobil has joined the SmartWay Transport Partnership, a voluntary collaboration between the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the freight industry designed to increase energy efficiency while reducing emissions.

Participation by ExxonMobil in the Carrier category will contribute to the partnership's goal of reducing carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate emissions by improving environmental performance of freight operations. ExxonMobil operates a fleet of 150 company-owned tanker trucks that deliver gasoline products to many of its Exxon- and Mobil-branded service stations across the nation.

Carrier members of SmartWay agree to measure fleet environmental performance using EPA's FLEET (Freight Logistics Environmental and Energy Tracking) performance model, develop a three-year action plan to improve environmental metrics, and provide an annual report on action plan progress.
