H-E-B runs an efficient transportation fleet that carries goods to you across Texas. We closely monitor our company’s transportation fuel usage as a founding member of the  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SmartWay Transport Partnership. 

It’s no secret that cars pollute the air, and our business requires that we haul products to your local H-E-B. So we owe it to our customers to do this in a responsible way. That’s why in 2004 H-E-B joined 14 other founding partners in the  EPA SmartWay Transport program to help develop, launch and champion a commitment to freight sustainability practices. What this means to you is that H-E-B is held accountable to improving freight transportation efficiency. We work with the EPA to measure and benchmark our operations.

In 2024, we eliminated 2 million miles through network efficiency improvement, or equivalent to 2,600 metric tons of carbon dioxide. We also retreaded 4600 tires (trailers and yard mules), which saved 286,350 lb. of waste from going to landfills and 101,200 gallons of oils.  Lastly, our tractors had a 7.69 avg. MPG in FY2024 vs. the national average of 6.24. This helps protect the environment and the quality of air that we breathe.
