President Obama Announces First Ever Savings
Standard for Heavy-Duty Trucks, Buses
August 9, 2011. Washington D.C. - Under the comprehensive new national
program, trucks and buses built in 2014 through 2018 will reduce oil consumption
by a projected 530 million barrels and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution by
approximately 270 million metric tons. Like the Administration’s historic car
standards, this program – which relies heavily on off-the-shelf technologies – was
developed in coordination with truck and engine manufacturers, fleet owners, the
State of California, environmental groups and other stakeholders.  By the 2018
model year, the program is expected to achieve significant savings relative to
current levels, across vehicle types.  Certain combination tractors – commonly
known as big-rigs or semi-trucks – will be required to achieve up to approximately
20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by model
year 2018, saving up to 4 gallons of fuel for every 100 miles travelled.

Truck Specifications and Operation: Compared to a standard Peterbilt 387 with a
485 hp. diesel engine and 10 speed transmission the converted vehicle has an
ePower drive unit with a 197 hp diesel engine, AC generator and electric drive motor
with a transmission range of forward, neutral and reverse (control box is now
located where the standard gearshift used to be in the truck cabin). While operating
a standard Peterbilt 387 requires a driver to start the vehicle and shift several times
to reach optimum highway speed the same vehicle retrofitted with the ePower drive
unit requires the driver to just start the vehicle and shift it once into drive to reach
optimum highway speed.

  • 6. Government Response Confidential President Obama Announces First Ever Savings Standard for Heavy-Duty Trucks, Buses August 9, 2011. Washington D.C. - Under the comprehensive new national program, trucks and buses built in 2014 through 2018 will reduce oil consumption by a projected 530 million barrels and greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution by approximately 270 million metric tons. Like the Administration’s historic car standards, this program – which relies heavily on off-the-shelf technologies – was developed in coordination with truck and engine manufacturers, fleet owners, the State of California, environmental groups and other stakeholders.  By the 2018 model year, the program is expected to achieve significant savings relative to current levels, across vehicle types.  Certain combination tractors – commonly known as big-rigs or semi-trucks – will be required to achieve up to approximately 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by model year 2018, saving up to 4 gallons of fuel for every 100 miles travelled. Standard Goal – Class 8 Trucks (Estimated) 2011 mpg 2018 mpg 5.2 6.8 5
