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

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.
