A panel of heavy-duty truck maker representatives will discuss what they're doing to meet greenhouse gas/fuel economy regulations for 2014 and beyond, the current and future status of alternative fuels, hybrid/electric, and more at the Green Fleet Conference Oct. 2 in Phoenix.
As part of the U.S. EPA's commitment to ensuring consumers are given accurate fuel economy values, the agency is revising its MPG estimates for the 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid and said it plans to update its fuel economy labeling regulations.
The 2025 CAFE rules will have a dramatic impact on the types of future vehicles in fleet operations. Currently, no OEM can meet the 2025 CAFE standard of 54.5 mpg, which will double the average EPA-rated fuel economy for all OEMs selling vehicles in the U.S. in less than two decades. Today, only a handful of models get 39 mpg or more. To achieve this standard, the government plans to incentivize the use of advanced technologies, such as hybrid powertrains and vehicle electrification.
