Brentwood, Tenn. (May 26, 2010) – Global logistics company, OHL, recently joined the SmartWaySM Transport Partnership, an innovative collaboration between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.
OHL will contribute to the Partnership’s goal to reduce 33 to 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide per year by 2012 by improving the environmental performance of freight operations.

By joining SmartWay Transport Partnership, OHL demonstrates its strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility.
“At OHL, we believe in being environmentally friendly, socially aware and acting in support of responsible initiatives and organizations that improve the lives of people throughout the world,” stated Scott McWilliams, OHL’s CEO. “We are pleased to participate in the SmartWay Transport Partnership.”
Launched in February 2004, the SmartWay Transport Partnership brings together major freight shippers, trucking companies, railroads, logistics companies and trade/professional associations to pursue mutually beneficial strategies that result in emissions reductions and other environmental improvements, as well as cost savings to the companies. The Partnership currently has over 2,600 Partners. For information about the SmartWay Transport Partnership visit www.epa.gov/smartway.
