Why CFI became a partner? • Joined the partnership in March 2005• Purpose – to become part of the long-

term solution toward reducing emissions and improving fuel economy.

• SmartWay provides guidance and insight into new technologies that are tested and proven to produce results.

Why CFI became a partner? (continued)

• CFI views the SmartWay program as an excellent benchmarking tool to measure our continual improvement in meeting emission goals, improving fuel economy and holding costs in line.

• CFI became ISO 9002 certified in February 1995 and views the benefits of SmartWay to be similar with those of ISO Certification.

What has CFI done as a Partner?

• Converted our entire tractor fleet to Wide Base Tire Technology.

Trailers also being converted to Wide Base Tires

Advantages of Wide Base Tires

• Improved Fuel Mileage by 2/10’s of a mile per gallon & an additional 2/10’s for the trailer.

• Cooler brakes due to more air moving around the exposed drum = longer brake life and better stopping.

• Easier tire pressure checking with no inside valve stem to find.

Advantages of Wide Base Tires (continued)

• Fewer tires & wheels to manage as our fleet converts from 18-Wheelers to 10- Wheelers.

• Drivers can visually see a low tire and do something about it before it’s too late.

What has CFI done as a Partner? (continued)

• Began specifying bunk heaters in all new trucks as of November 2005 and currently have over 50% of our fleet equipped.

• Continued to equip our tractors with the full air and cab fairings and aerodynamic mirror shells.

• 2004 thru 2006 – Upgraded the entire fleet of 2,400 tractors equipped with post October 2002 EPA certified engines.

Future Plans with SmartWay• Implementing electric source

cab/sleeper cooling on tractors to further reduce idling thru the use of Kenworth’s Clean Power System. (estimated release date of June 2007)

• Possibly electrifying CFI’s new Kansas City drop lot to allow such vehicles to plug in for overnight stays.
