The US Dept of Energy reported on May 18, 2005 (available at www.eere.energy.gov/news/ that the federal government has formed a partnership called DOE 21st Century Partnership to develop advanced technologies for fuel-efficient commercial vehicles.
About 25% of all vehicles on our roads are commerical vehicles. DOE projections show a doubling of commercial trucks by 2050. To reduce the growth in fuel use, the DOE partnership aims to increase the fuel economy by nearly 80% in the next 15 years. These new trucks will feature clean diesel and hybrid technolgy for trucks and buses.
