Building For A More Sustainable Future
Congratulations to our warehouse shipping partner - Old Dominion Freight Line on their being named Heavy Duty Trucking's “Top Green Fleet” award for 2022!
A list of 20 fleets that honors leaders in sustainability. The list, chosen by HDT’s editors, recognizes efforts and evaluates all sizes and types of fleets in areas such as fleet electrification, alternative and renewable fuels, cleaner burning engines, fuel efficiency, and green facilities.
Old Dominion Freight Line has just over 11,000 heavy-duty vehicles in its less-than-truckload fleet. It maximizes freight and fuel efficiency by strategically planning routes and maximizing use of trailer capacity with trailer deck bars and racking systems. Collaborating with manufacturers allows OD to tailor specs for their specific usage profile. The company took delivery of its first Volvo Class 8 electric truck, its first Autocar electric yard jockey, and five electric forklifts on its dock in Rialto, California. Low-carbon diesel accounts for approximately 20% of its total bulk fuel purchases and the company is working closely with renewable and biofuel distributors to expand its use, OD’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions decreased by approximately 12% from 2018 to 2020.'
