Saving Fuel Saving Money: An Assessment of Fleet Cost Savings from High Efficiency Trucks

May 2010

Technology improvements feasible in the 2020-2030 timeframe can provide significant cost savings for truck owners. In order to quantify these potential future savings, CALSTART assessed per-truck costs and benefits for three types of end users: package delivery fleets, long-haul trucking fleets, and tractor trailer owner-operators. Our analysis shows that truck owners could potentially save tens of thousands of dollars per truck over typical vehicle ownership periods by investing in advanced technologies over the 2020-2030 timeframe.
