Graphic Standards and Logo Usage Guidelines

US EPA Certified SmartWay® Mark 

for Qualifying Tractors and Trailers 

Promoting the Mark

The US EPA Certified SmartWay mark may be used in point-of-sale advertising (for on-site 

locations and web sites) and promotional material of original equipment manufacturers 

(OEM) of SmartWay qualified tractors and trailers. Media and other interested parties may 

also use the SmartWay mark for articles or other educational purposes. However, the mark 

may only be used in association with tractors and trailers that have met the SmartWay 

technical specifications. 

Only tractor and trailer manufacturers may use the SmartWay mark. Component 

manufacturers (such as tire or aerodynamic add-on manufacturers) may not apply the US 

EPA Certified SmartWay mark to their products, product packaging, on their sales web sites 

or in their point-of-sale advertising. 

The US EPA Certified SmartWay mark may also be applied, by the original equipment 

manufacturer (OEM), to the interior of a qualified SmartWay tractor or a SmartWay trailer. 

However, it may not be applied to the windows of a tractor or in any place on a tractor’s 

interior that is visible from the exterior.

The following communication guidelines will prevent misrepresentation and consumer 

confusion. 

 Correct Incorrect 

 “Earned” “Endorse” 

 “Qualified” “Rating” 

 “Meets SmartWay specifications” “Rated” 

EPA recommends using words in the “correct” column to describe tractors and trailers which 

meet the voluntary requirements for application of the SmartWay logo by OEMs. Text used 

in advertising, articles, brochures, publications, annual reports, web sites, or any other 

promotional material must never imply EPA endorsement of either the manufacturing 

company or sponsoring organization.

Graphics

The US EPA Certified SmartWay mark must be used its entirety and as shown. The only 

approved logo files to be used can be obtained by contacting EPA. No other graphical 

representation of the mark may be used. 

The graphic may not be altered, cut apart, separated, or otherwise distorted in perspective 

or appearance. The aspect ratio (length and width dimensions) must remain proportional. 

The logo must never be reproduced smaller than 1.25" wide to ensure legibility.

Licensees, SmartWay Partners and other organizations are responsible for their own use of 

the US EPA Certified SmartWay mark, as well as use by their representatives, such as ad 

agencies and public relations firms.
