Fuels Institute Medium Heavy Duty Vehicle Report Webinar
FRIDAY, APRIL 29 AT 11:00AM PACIFIC. There are approximately 12 million medium-and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV) in the United States, representing about 5% of all vehicles on the road and 30% of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. There are distinguishable differences between MHDV and light duty vehicles and the same carbon abatement strategies may not apply to both sectors.
The Fuels Institute commissioned Guidehouse Insights to establish a baseline framework for evaluating the emissions contributions of the medium- and heavy-duty transportation sectors and the potential viable solutions that could be applied. In this webinar, we would like to share the results of the report, which specifically sought to demonstrate the diversity and complexity of the medium- and heavy-duty sectors to help accelerate identification of emissions solutions that will yield the greatest benefit at the lowest achievable cost by enabling decision makers to consider the unique applications of each type of vehicle.
