Additionally, Ryder invests in fuel-efficient tractors for its dedicated transportation business, while aiming to drive fewer miles and minimize idle time through weekly route planning, predictive analytics, and optimized co-mingle returns. And, as part of its driver training program, Ryder educates its drivers on techniques to reduce fuel use and fleet emissions.

In the warehouses Ryder manages, the company uses electric forklifts, LED lighting, and energy efficient building systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, whenever possible. Ryder remains at the forefront of advanced technology such as automated storage and retrieval systems and other goods-to-person solutions that maximize storage capacity and optimize productivity.
