WASHINGTON (Feb. 10)—Bridgestone/Firestone has joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay Transport Partnership, a national government-business joint effort to reduce emissions from commercial trucking.
BFS, with more than 200 trucks in its private fleet, said it is the first tire company out of nearly 50 SmartWay members to date. The goal of the SmartWay partnership is to eliminate 33 million to 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide emissions by 2012.
