Trucking Efficiency
Dedicated to doubling the efficiency of North
American goods movement.
We pursue this goal in two ways:
1. By improving the quality of information flow and
2. By highlighting successful adoption of technologies.

•
68 techs, 14 fleets, 12 years, 53,000 tractors, 160,000 trailers
Which ones are most popular on new equipment?
Did the fleets keep buying them?
Are they delivering fuel savings?
Participating fleets learning from each other and providing
helpful information for the industry.

Vocational
 The tractor manufacturer certifies the
tractor through simulation based on
aerodynamics, weight reduction, tires,
idling and speed limiters
 The chassis manufacturer certifies the
chassis through simulation based on tires
Engines
Combination
Tractors
Phase 1 Regulation In Practice
 The engine manufacturer certifies the
engine for NOx, PM and CO2 (plus N2O
and CH4)

Looking Ahead: Likely Phase 2
 Enhance the Phase 1 foundation
–
–
–
–
Retain separate engine standards
Provide greater reductions
Set longer-term standards: 2021, 2024, 2027
Improve the program (GEM, vocational
categories, duty cycles, etc.)
 Recognize benefits of integration and
additional technologies
– Powertrain optimization
– Trailers
– Vehicle-level controls: GPS, “smart cruise”
33
Looking Ahead: Technologies
 SuperTruck averaged a 75% increase in fuel
economy over 2009 baseline truck
 Engine is significant contributor – up to 15%
CO2 improvement over 2017 tractor engine
standard possible in Phase 2
34
Final Thoughts on Phase 2
 Fuel consumption and greenhouse gas reductions result in direct user benefit in fuel
savings
– Set standards that deliver technologies across engines, transmissions, tractors, trailers, etc.
– Provide clarity and certainty to focus on significant opportunities
 Regulatory structure and standards must take into account the diversity of the
industry and how the market operates
– Build on success of Phase 1
– Balance real-world fidelity and regulatory complexity
 Extensive outreach by government agencies and active engagement by stakeholders
leads to a better regulation
– Develop national approach to meet priorities for EPA, DOT and ARB
– Continue to seek industry input
35
Stakeholder Engagement
 Glen Kedzie, energy and environmental counsel for the American Truck
Associations…contended that the EPA has done unprecedented outreach,
“a lot more than I have ever seen on a rule,” to get the rule right.
(Washington Examiner, June 2, 2015)
 Principles for the Heavy-duty Fuel Efficiency Leadership Group (Con-way,
Cummins, Eaton, FedEx, PepsiCo, Wabash, Waste Management):
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Achieve Significant Environmental, Economic and Energy Security Benefits
Ensure a National Harmonized Program
Maintain Market, Fleet, Fuel and Technology Choices
Build on Success of Phase I
Provide Regulatory Certainty with Adequate Lead Time and Stability
Drive GHG/FE Improvement Technologies in Tractors, Trailers and Vocational Vehicles
Maintain Incentives and Flexibilities
Adopt Complimentary Policies

Decisions
• What did we learn today? One big thing?
• Fleets / End Users - Are you ready to
make a decision on a new technology?
• Manufacturers - What changes might you
be making to your products or tactics?
• Others - What will you do differently
given today?
