PITT OHIO Honored with TMSA Purpose Award

Thu, 14 Oct 2021 19:43:25 GMT

Pittsburgh, PA (May 13, 2025) - PITT OHIO, a leader in regional and national logistics services and sustainability in the transportation industry is proud to announce that it has been honored with a Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA) Purpose Award. This award is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to making a meaningful impact through its innovative and sustainable practices.

The Purpose Award celebrates the top five companies that go above and beyond their responsibilities to make a significant difference. Whether through contributions to their local communities, advancements in the transportation and logistics industries, or commitment to environmental sustainability, this award honors organizations that give back and drive positive change.

PITT OHIO has demonstrated its dedication to the environment and the community through several key initiatives over the past 18 months. At the end of 2024, PITT OHIO reached a significant milestone of 100,000 all-time electric miles driven. The company deployed its first battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in mid-2022, which have been active in fleet operations since. This initiative has not only provided valuable data and experience but also led to substantial emissions savings, with an estimated 112 tons of carbon emissions avoided by just six BEVs.

In December, PITT OHIO introduced its first fully electric off-road “yard horse” at one of its terminal locations, further showcasing its commitment to innovative solutions. Looking ahead, the company plans to double the size of its BEV fleet in 2025 to continue evaluating new technology and maintaining its commitment to environmental stewardship.

PITT OHIO’s achievements emphasize the importance of integrating sustainability into business operations while leading by example in the transportation and logistics industry. "As we continue our journey towards electrification, PITT OHIO remains unwavering in our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship,” said Taki Darakos, PITT OHIO’s Vice President of Vehicle Maintenance. “We’re proud of the achievements, but our efforts go beyond the numbers; they serve as beacons of innovation and education for the entire industry. We firmly believe that sharing our experiences will empower other businesses to embrace this transformative technology, driving collective progress. At PITT OHIO, we envision a future where sustainability is not just a goal, but a standard, and we are proud to lead the charge."

“PITT OHIO is driving real change—both literally and figuratively—through their innovative approach to fleet electrification,” said Jennifer Karpus-Romain, Executive Director of the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association. “By reaching 100,000 electric miles and avoiding more than 100 tons of carbon emissions, they’re proving that sustainability and operational excellence can go hand-in-hand. Their willingness to lead, learn, and share their journey with the industry is exactly the kind of purpose-driven leadership we aim to celebrate with the TMSA Purpose Award.”

Darakos continued, “We also extend our gratitude to the TMSA for recognizing companies like ours with the Purpose Award. Such recognition is invaluable as it highlights the importance of making a positive difference in the world, encouraging others to follow suit in their own sustainability journeys.”
