Pittsburgh, PA (March 20, 2026) - PITT OHIO, a leader in regional and national logistics services and sustainability in the transportation industry has been named a Clean Fuel Champion Award recipient by Drive Clean Indiana, recognizing the company’s clean fuel deployments, efficiency improvements, and ongoing commitment to clean air initiatives across its operations.

The award specifically recognizes PITT OHIO’s leadership in advancing electric freight solutions, including its deployment of Orange EV all‑electric terminal tractors through the Terminal Tractor Replacement Project and the implementation of electric forklifts at its Indianapolis facility. These initiatives represent meaningful steps toward reducing emissions while modernizing logistics operations.

“PITT OHIO continues to demonstrate that sustainability and operational excellence go hand in hand,” said Ryan Lisek, Program Director of Drive Clean Indiana. “Their strategic investments in electric equipment show what is possible when fleets prioritize clean air, innovation, and long‑term efficiency.”

By transitioning traditionally diesel‑powered equipment to electric alternatives, PITT OHIO is reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, and helping create healthier communities around its terminals. The company’s electrification efforts also support broader regional and national clean air goals while maintaining the reliability and performance customers expect.

“At PITT OHIO, sustainability is integrated into how we operate, not treated as a side initiative,” said Taki Darakos, Vice President of Vehicle Maintenance at PITT OHIO. “This recognition from Drive Clean Indiana reinforces our belief that responsible freight operations can drive real environmental impact while supporting the efficiency and dependability our customers rely on.”

PITT OHIO’s clean fuel strategy continues to expand as the company evaluates new technologies, partners with innovative solutions providers, and pursues initiatives that reduce the environmental footprint of freight transportation.

The Clean Fuel Champion Award honors organizations that demonstrate measurable success in alternative fuel adoption, emissions reductions, and leadership in clean transportation.
