  1. SmartWay Plus Program for Cleaner and More Fuel Efficient Trucks

  2. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) SmartWay Transport Partnership Program and the Virginia Port Authority are initiating a partnership with Hampton Roads area lenders and truck dealers to help finance the purchase of less polluting and more fuel efficient 2007 or earlier heavy duty diesel trucks. The SmartWay Plus Program offers lower monthly payments through flexible loan terms for trucks equipped with a diesel particle filter, as compared to traditional loans. This loan can also be used to finance fuel saving equipment like auxiliary power units, wide-based tires, and advance tractor and trailer aerodynamics as long as the truck is equipped with a diesel filter.

  3. What are the benefits? By purchasing less polluting, more fuel efficient trucks, truck owners can save around $100 to $200 on their monthly loan payments. They also will help the environment by reducing the amount of emissions from their truck. And, they can gain increased business from SmartWay Shippers who have made a commitment to EPA to deliver at least 50% of their cargo with cleaner SmartWay Carriers. For a complete list of SmartWay Shippers see: http://www.epa.gov/smartway/partners.htm Who can apply? Any trucking company or owner operator can apply for these loans. The SmartWay Plus Program can be used for long-haul, regional-haul, or drayage operations. SmartWay Plus Program for Cleaner and More Fuel Efficient Trucks
