Arne Nystrom

H.O. Wolding, Inc. and US EPA Join forces on April

16, 2004, and was the 31st partner to join with EPA to

reduces emissions. H.O. Wolding is Wisconsin‟s 2nd

longest continuing member.

the US EPA to save over 150,000 Tons of CO 2.

How did we get there?

Through considerable company investments and numerous grant

programs from the United States EPA, the State of Wisconsin and

others we have installed and are continuing to installed over

$750,000.00 of factory installed and after market idle reduction

equipment.

Our capital investments and driver education programs have enabled

us to reduce our yearly engine idle hours from over 400,000 annually

to 177,800 for 2011. Equaling a 65% reduction.

Much credit is also due to our drivers understanding good driving

practices. We also use mobile communication programs that monitor

driver activities on a daily basis.
