Fleets are finding practical ways to cut fuel use, reduce emissions, and keep freight moving in sustainable trucking.
There’s no single path to sustainability in trucking, and this year’s Top Green Fleets make that clearer than ever.
Across operations of all sizes, there’s a growing emphasis on using data to move more freight with fewer miles and less fuel.
This year’s list also shows that you don’t have to be a mega-fleet to make meaningful progress.
Some of the smaller fleets are making headway through disciplined operations, driver engagement, and a willingness to test and improve.
The industry is still very much in what’s often called the “messy middle.” Diesel efficiency, renewable fuels, natural gas, and zero-emission trucks are all in play — sometimes within the same fleet.
What these fleets have in common is a practical, persistent approach to reducing emissions and protecting the environment while keeping freight moving.
The selection process for the Top Green Fleets involves evaluating factors such as alternative fuels and powertrains, fuel economy, freight efficiency, facility improvements, and overall sustainability goals.
For 2026, we selected 20 fleets of varying sizes and operations that are demonstrating leadership in sustainable trucking.
The industry is shifting towards a more data-driven approach to reduce emissions.
