2015-03-13 07:24:46| Trucking - Topix.net
Citing "years of non-regulation and slow investment," the Union of Concerned Scientists has called for "strong federal standards" for heavy-duty truck fuel economy, with a goal of cutting fuel consumption by at least 40%. The push, dubbed " Engines for Change ," was launched Wednesday and focuses on a 24-page report which details the amount of fuel used by trucks to move freight and specifically to haul consumer goods, along with the savings that would be generated for both consumers and truckers by developing more fuel efficient vehicles.
