Schneider’s core business of transporting goods creates significant mobile source emissions. These emissions are directly proportional to the amount of goods transported and miles travelled. The only way to reduce emissions without sacrificing growth opportunities is to decrease the energy intensity required to transport these goods. Consequently, Schneider have been constantly striving to reduce their energy intensity by improving fuel efficiency, reducing unnecessary miles, reducing engine idle time and shifting to intermodal mode of transport.

In 2003, Schneider began the implementation of idle reduction technologies including direct fired heaters (DFHs) and cab cooling units (CCUs). Direct Fired Heaters reduce idling by providing in-cabin heat for drivers in cold temperatures. Cab Cooling Units provide in-cabin cooling during the summer months.
