Trucking Groups Form Clean Freight Coalition

Five trucking organizations have come together to form a new group looking to promote and advocate for a zero-emission future. 

The Clean Freight Coalition (CFC) was launched March 23 to “serve as a collective voice for key trucking industry stakeholders,” according to a release. 

The five founding members are the American Trucking Associations, American Truck Dealers, National Tank Truck Carriers, Truck & Engine Manufacturers Association and Truckload Carriers Association. 

According to the release, the CFC’s goals are: 

• educate lawmakers on the progress the trucking industry has already made in green energy;  

• promote ongoing industry work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and  

• advocate for policies to ensure the transition to a zero-emission future will have affordable transportation and protect the supply chain. 

The coalition’s director will be Jim Mullen, who was previously acting administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
