This white paper from Environmental Defense Fund and fleet management company PHH Arval lays out strategies for reducing emissions from medium-duty trucks, which are responsible for more than 80 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.

The resource also provides details on how Coca-Cola, FedEx, Kraft, Pepsi, Staples, UPS and other big firms have curbed greenhouse gas emissions in their medium-duty fleets, which the white paper calls the “workhorses of the American economy.

The white paper can be downloaded from EDF (pdf).

 More resources about managing greenhouse gases in passenger, delivery and freight fleet are available from EDF’s Fleet Vehicles page.

The organization also invites firms to share their success stories, lessons learned and other resources to help reduce fuel consumption and emissions at an open-source Wiki:
