The fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of MHDVs have become a focus of legislative and regulatory action in the past few years. \u003ci\u003eReducing the Fuel Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Phase Two\u003c\/i\u003e is a follow-on to the National Research Council's 2010 report, \u003ci\u003eTechnologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium-and Heavy-Duty Vehicles\u003c\/i\u003e. That report provided a series of findings and recommendations on the development of regulations for reducing fuel consumption of MHDVs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis report comprises the first periodic, five-year follow-on to the 2010 report. \u003ci\u003eReducing the Fuel Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles, Phase Two\u003c\/i\u003e reviews NHTSA fuel consumption regulations and considers the technological, market and regulatory factors that may be of relevance to a revised and updated regulatory regime taking effect for model years 2019-2022. The report analyzes and provides options for improvements to the certification and compliance procedures for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; reviews an updated analysis of the makeup and characterization of the medium- and heavy-duty truck fleet; examines the barriers to and the potential applications of natural gas in class 2b through class 8 vehicles; and addresses uncertainties and performs sensitivity analyses for the fuel consumption and cost\/benefit estimates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Transportation Research Board,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309302374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309302371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447683789055,"sku":"9780309302371","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89f36ffd-03ca-47cf-b2f9-ffb060794a3f.jpg?v=1777234111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reducing-the-fuel-consumption-and-national-research-council-9780309302371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
