Environmental compliance is essentially adherence to laws and regulations written to mitigate the impact of industrial practices on the environment. For the trucking industry specifically, this means following federal regulations on emissions or disposal, state and local regulations, and more. For example, in the trucking sector, environmental compliance is mainly about reducing emissions and ensuring that the vehicles fit the appropriate environmental classification (set by the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, and the like) according to regulations, such as diesel engine emissions, handling of hazardous materials, and maintaining vehicles in a manner that reduces waste and environmental impact.

Besides meeting other requirements of compliance, such as regularly scheduled vehicle inspections, emission-control systems for vehicles, and the adoption of green policies, fleet operators must install the latest emission-control systems, such as diesel particulate filters (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in trucks and commercial vehicles. For this purpose, companies must ensure timely maintenance of their vehicles and record keeping of emission testing.

TruckX can equip fleets with solutions for keeping up with environmental compliance. Some of our fleet management systems for keeping up with environmental compliance include emission monitoring, scheduling maintenance, and staying in compliance with environmental regulations. Using these solutions together, we can help fleets keep up with their environmental compliance, decreasing their negative impact on the environment, and making their entire fleet run more efficiently.
