Speeding High Efficiency Truck Adoption: Recommended Policies, Incentives and Investments

2010

The goal of this report is to identify the best incentives and complementary policies to overcome technology and market barriers and support an accelerated transition to more efficient, cleaner trucks. CALSTART surveyed truck fleet users, manufacturers, and suppliers in order to better understand the primary implementation barriers, needs, and policy options that could address these issues. After the initial survey, CALSTART then worked with a multi‐disciplinary Task Force of industry and vehicle user representatives to further refine the policy recommendations. Funding for the report was provided by the Energy Foundation.
