Fleets
Manufacturers
Future opportunities in improving fuel efficiencies are possible, but a team efforts is needed!
Government

Trucks and trailers of all shapes and sizes are critical to the movement of this countries
freight and the national economy!
3
Many years ago we were primarily concerned about getting to our destination
without a breakdown!
4
Today we want to save fuel and fleets look like this
5
The delivery van has and will continue to evolve
6
The Impact of Aerodynamics on Fuel Economy is Dramatic for all Kinds of
Vehicles
Based on the Department of Energy study, once a vehicle reaches 50 MPH, Fuel economy depends significantly on aerodynamic design.

7
Thinking about aerodynamics is not a new concept
8
4.5% to 5.5% improvement
Fleets today are proactively investing in proven, cost effective aerodynamic
solutions in mass!
9
9% to 10% fuel usage improvement together
Technology exists today in combination to save a lot more.
9% to 10% fuel usage improvement in
combination
10
The Super Truck program has uncovered some dramatic results and will stimulate a
lot of good idea for all types of fleets
11
One of the main reasons we are all here today is we all want to save energy,
for one reason or another!
• This could be to reduce GHG.• To help your clients reduce the amount of
fuel/energy they use on a daily bases.• Making this world we live in, a better, cleaner place.
• Gov’t may need to help fund the research
• Manufacturers may need to think out side the box
• Fleets may need to be a part of the innovation team
12
I don’t think we need to go this far
13
As I said earlier this is where we are todayBased on some of the data
presented earlier we could look like
It seems logical that the right tire and a tear drop roof line could generate an additional 8+% fuel
improvement without losing any carrying capacity.
Can the tire industry develop a tire to handle this with the DOE’s help?
