Werner® Named a 2026 Top Green Fleet by Heavy Duty Trucking
OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, is pleased to announce its inclusion as a 2026 Top Green Fleet by Heavy Duty Trucking. This prestigious industry honor highlights Werner’s leadership in sustainable trucking, data-driven freight efficiency and its ongoing commitment to lowering real-world emissions. This marks the fifth time Werner has taken home the honor since 2020.
Heavy Duty Trucking’s Top Green Fleets program honors a select group of 20 industry leaders evaluated on comprehensive criteria, including alternative fuels and advanced powertrains, fuel economy, network efficiency, "green" facility infrastructure and robust long-term sustainability frameworks.
"We are honored to be included among this prestigious list of 20 companies actively finding solutions for the transportation industry's carbon impacts,” said Werner's Senior Vice President of Equipment Operations & Innovation, Chad Dittberner. “This award from Heavy Duty Trucking validates our efforts as we build a scalable sustainability framework. Werner continues to lean into both advanced technology and operational basics—optimizing routing, testing innovative equipment and engaging our drivers—to reduce our carbon footprint while providing exceptional service to our customers."
Werner has committed to reducing its CO2 emissions by 55 percent by 2035. To achieve this milestone, the company actively pilots and tests sustainable truck models, alternative energy options and cutting-edge solutions to maximize fuel efficiency and drive reductions in engine idling. Werner’s ongoing efforts focus on executing data-driven strategies, eliminating non-billable "deadhead" miles, and refining equipment specifications—such as aerodynamic profiles and lithium battery hoteling along with low-idle auxiliary power units—to ensure sustainable practices result in real-world environmental impacts.
As supply chains face increasing scrutiny regarding Scope 3 emissions, Werner continues to deliver actionable insights and collaborative sustainability partnerships to its customers, ensuring that environmental responsibility aligns with operational excellence.
