PLANTATION, FLA.—DHL Express was honored with a SmartWay Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and recognized as an industry leader in freight supply chain environmental performance and energy efficiency.

SmartWay recognized DHL Express in the United States for its initiatives and efforts to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions within its operations. Between 2014 and 2015, DHL invested more than $50 million in new, more fuel-efficient vehicles. The company now has more than 500 liquid propane gas (LPG) vehicles along with many new fully electric, hybrid-electric and certified clean diesel vehicles.

“We are honored to have been selected as a leader in environmental performance,” said Cain Moodie, Vice President and Head of Operations for DHL Express U.S. “Sustainability is a key pillar in our business model and is fully integrated into our company’s culture. DHL always considers eco-friendly technologies, ensuring that all newly purchased vehicles are more eco-friendly than those being replaced.”

DHL Express was one of 39 carriers to receive this distinction from the EPA, representing the best environmental performers of SmartWay’s nearly 3,000 partners. The carrier Excellence Award recipients were honored at the American Trucking Association’s Annual Management Conference & Exhibition held in Philadelphia on October 19.

“The EPA is pleased to honor these SmartWay partners with a 2015 Excellence Award,” said Chris Grundler, Director, EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality. “SmartWay carriers work diligently to bring our families the goods we need each day while contributing to a healthy, sustainable future for our children.”
