What Does it Mean to be a SmartWay Affiliate?
SmartWay Affiliates are organizations that are committed to promoting greater energy efficiency and air quality within the freight transport sector through the SmartWay Transport program.
As an Affiliate, you help your members make better choices for their businesses and the environment. When you encourage them to participate in the SmartWay Transport Partnership, they will receive information and tools they need to reduce fuel consumption, save money, and make a positive impact on the environment.
Am I Eligible to Become an Affiliate?
The following types of organizations are eligible to be Affiliates with the SmartWay Transport Partnership:
-
SmartWay Truck/Trailer Dealerships promote and sell SmartWay Certified tractors or trailers and four approved categories of energy-saving devices: idle control, wide-based or fuel efficient tires, Automatic Tire Inflation (ATI), and Tractor/Trailer aerodynamics.
-
SmartWay Leasing Companies lease SmartWay Certified vehicles, tractors or trailers, and promote the sale or lease of SmartWay Certified vehicles, tractors or trailers to dealerships and/or multiple franchises.
-
SmartWay Non-Profit Affiliates are trade and professional associations; membership, nongovernmental organizations; academic institutions and governmental agencies that educate their constituents about the SmartWay program.
-
SmartWay Technology Vendors sell or manufacture technology within one of the four categories:
- Idle Reduction Technologies (APUs/gensets, fuel operated heaters, battery AC systems, and phase change systems.)
- Wide-based tires or fuel efficient tires
- Automatic Tire Inflation (ATI)
- Tractor/Trailer aerodynamics
If your organization does not meet one of the above Affiliate types, you can still participate in the SmartWay Community.
What's My Commitment as an Affiliate?
Affiliates join SmartWay for three years and commit to promote the Partnership to their members and the public through various strategies they select themselves. As a result, Affiliates help their members make smart choices for their businesses and for the rest of us.
What's in it for Me?
As an Affiliate, you give a valuable service to your members. You provide them with a tangible, highly beneficial way to improve their business operations and make a difference for the public good. And EPA will help you help them by providing outreach materials, program and technical training, and networking opportunities.
