Join us as the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE), a SmartWay Affiliate, shares results from their Regional Run on Less real-time demonstration.  NACFE proved how Class 8 tractors—both diesel and CNG—and trailers achieved the best fuel economy possible in differing regional haul applications. There were ten fleets, including six SmartWay Partners, using only commercially-available technology participating in the Run: C&S Wholesale Grocers, Hirschbach, Hogan Transportation, J.B. Hunt, Meijer, PepsiCo, Ploger Transportation, Schneider, Southeastern Freight Lines, and UPS.    

This webinar offers well-grounded encouragement to the growing segment of regional operations, that 8.3 MPG is possible for regional Class 8 fleets.  NACFE highlights the technologies and practices that make ultra-low fuel consumption in regional haul a reality.
