As a global manufacturer and a nation-wide distributor we have a great opportunity and responsibility to reduce our fuel consumption and emissions. Our fleet uses computer monitoring to reduce idling, optimize speed and rpm shift points for improved fuel efficiency, bio-diesel fuels are used wherever possible, synthetic lubricants provide improved performance and less petrochemical usage. We incent our drivers to be as fuel efficient as possible, reducing our emissions and improving their safety.
