Road to the Future
Environmental Vision
RED=GREEN
TITAN’s linehaul trucks and trailers each drive 144,000 miles annually – Investing in cleaner fuel, and outfitting our fleet with the latest AERODYNAMIC equipment and technology is right for our environment AND helps TITAN provide the lowest cost of operations. Electric trucks are on the horizon and you can bet TITAN will be the first carrier backing up to your dock with a zero-emission truck. It’s right for our local air quality, It’s right for your children’s future and it’s right for our bottom line.
RENEWABLE DIESEL
TITAN Freight uses Renewable Diesel (not biodiesel), a fossil fuel free source, for 54% of our fleet energy use throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Renewable Diesel is an ultra-clean burning fuel with a high Cetane score (83) compared to petroleum diesel (48). Cetane rating is a measurement of the quality or performance of diesel fuel. The higher the number, the better the fuel burns in a vehicle’s engine. It is made from plant-based oils, used cooking oils, and animal fats, and has 60% less greenhouse gas emissions than petroleum diesel, making it a viable bridge fuel to electric vehicles.
Breathe easy when TITAN is your carrier – The most on-time and lowest carbon footprint carrier in the Pacific Northwest!
Our Green Energy Strategy by the Numbers
Fossil Fuel Free
93% of our Oregon fuel use (54% of our entire Northwest fuel use) is Renewable Diesel
60% lower greenhouse gas emissions with Renewable Diesel compared to petroleum (fossil) diesel and at a similar price
30% less soot (PM 2.5 & 10) in the engine and exhaust. With cleaner burning Renewable Diesel, soot and contaminants are dramatically reduced, which results in lower maintenance and cleaner air in our workplace and neighborhoods
78% less engine oil used. With Renewable Diesel and fewer contaminants entering the engine, regular oil changes are a process of the past
$.015 per mile reduction in exhaust system maintenance and fewer oil changes. Small savings coupled with millions of miles travelled add up to HUGE REDUCTIONS in COSTS. Our commitment to cleaner energy is also a competitive advantage. By reducing our costs, we’re able to provide our customers with the best value in transportation: Lower Price, Lower Emissions, and Faster Service
