Covenant Logistics Receives U.S. EPA 2024 SmartWay Excellence Award
Covenant Logistics has been awarded the SmartWay® Excellence Award from the U.S. EPA, recognizing them as a top environmental performer in the freight industry. This award places Covenant within the top 1% of freight carriers based on emissions.
A key factor in Covenant's decarbonization strategy is their partnership with DClimate, an eAPU (electric auxiliary power unit) provider. The eAPU technology allows drivers to maintain climate control and use electronics without idling the engine, potentially reducing idling by 2,220 hours annually and saving 1.76 million gallons of fuel per 1,000 trucks.
Covenant was one of 29 truck carriers to receive this distinction out of SmartWay's 4,000+ Partners. The award highlights Covenant's commitment to reducing their environmental impact while improving operational efficiency and driver experience.
Covenant Logistics ha ricevuto il Premio di Eccellenza SmartWay® dalla U.S. EPA, riconoscendoli come uno dei migliori performer ambientali nel settore del trasporto merci. Questo premio colloca Covenant nel 1% migliore dei vettori di merci in base alle emissioni.
Un fattore chiave nella strategia di decarbonizzazione di Covenant è la loro partnership con DClimate, un fornitore di eAPU (unità di alimentazione ausiliaria elettrica). La tecnologia eAPU consente ai conducenti di mantenere il controllo della temperatura e utilizzare dispositivi elettronici senza dover accendere il motore, riducendo potenzialmente le ore di inattività di 2.220 all'anno e risparmiando 1,76 milioni di galloni di carburante per 1.000 camion.
Covenant è stata una delle 29 aziende di trasporto a ricevere questa distinzione tra oltre 4.000 partner di SmartWay. Il premio evidenzia l'impegno di Covenant a ridurre il proprio impatto ambientale, migliorando allo stesso tempo l'efficienza operativa e l'esperienza dei conducenti.

Covenant Logistics는 미국 EPA로부터 스마트웨이® 우수상을 수상하여 화물 운송 산업에서 최고의 환경 성과를 인정받았습니다. 이 상은 코벤언트를 배출량 기준 상위 1%의 화물 운송업체로 위치시킵니다.
Covenant의 탄소 감축 전략에서 중요한 요소는 DClimate와의 파트너십으로, 이는 전기 보조 전력 장치(eAPU) 공급업체입니다. eAPU 기술은 운전자가 엔진을 켜지 않고도 기후 조절을 유지하고 전자 기기를 사용할 수 있어 연간 2,220시간의 공회전을 줄일 수 있으며, 1,000대의 트럭당 176만 갤런의 연료를 절약할 수 있습니다.
Covenant는 SmartWay의 4,000명 이상의 파트너 중 29개의 트럭 운송업체 중 하나로 이 영예를 수여받았습니다. 이 상은 Covenant가 환경에 미치는 영향을 줄이면서 운영 효율성과 운전자의 경험을 개선하려는 노력을 강조합니다.

Un facteur clé de la stratégie de décarbonisation de Covenant est leur partenariat avec DClimate, un fournisseur d'eAPU (unité de puissance auxiliaire électrique). La technologie eAPU permet aux conducteurs de maintenir le contrôle climatique et d'utiliser des appareils électroniques sans faire tourner le moteur au ralenti, ce qui pourrait réduire les temps d'arrêt de 2 220 heures par an et économiser 1,76 million de gallons de carburant par 1 000 camions.
Covenant était l'un des 29 transporteurs de camions à recevoir cette distinction parmi plus de 4 000 partenaires de SmartWay. Ce prix souligne l'engagement de Covenant à réduire son impact environnemental tout en améliorant l'efficacité opérationnelle et l'expérience des conducteurs.
