WHO WE ARE
The
Clean Freight Coalition
is an alliance of truck transportation stakeholders committed to a clean energy future for America’s trucking industry.
Participating associations span motor carriers of every size and sector, truck dealers, truckstop operators, and equipment manufacturers – forming the linchpin of the U.S. supply chain.
Our Mission
Educate policy makers on the incredible progress the trucking industry has made in reducing emissions and protecting the environment.
Promote the work underway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from freight transportation.
Advocate for sound public policies that transition toward a zero-emission future in a manner that assures affordable and reliable freight transportation and protects the nation's supply chain.

OUR PROGRESS
As the trucking industry's essential role in the economy continues to grow, our environmental footprint continues to shrink.
Truck engines manufactured today emit 98% less nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) than those built thirty-five years ago. In fact, 60 of today's trucks emit what just one truck emitted in 1988.
Since 2006, the industry has eliminated virtually all sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions.
We worked with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Transportation on Phase 1 (2011) and Phase 2 (2016) regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, which stand to cut CO2 emissions by 1.37 billion metric tons and reduce oil consumption by over 2.5 billion barrels.
In partnership with EPA, we created the voluntary SmartWay program in 2004, further cutting CO2 emissions by 152 million metric tons and saving 357 million barrels of oil—the equivalent of annual electricity use in 23 million homes.
THE ROAD TO ZERO
It is not a question of
if
we get to zero emissions, but
when
The transition away from carbon based fuels must be a careful process. Success depends on cost parity, the right market incentives, necessary infrastructure, and access to a wide array of scarce natural resources.
This requires
clear, national standards
that:
Are technology neutral;
Empower innovation; and
Enable industry to plan and invest.
We need
government policies
and programs that:
Provide sufficient leadtime;
Create regulatory stability for consumers and manufacturers; and
Support necessary infrastructure development.

Full electrification of the U.S. vehicle fleet would require more than 40% of the country’s current electricity generation. Some states would need to generate as much as 60% more electricity than is presently produced.
