Tampa,FLA,USA -Transport Topics, by Jonathan S. Reiskin -5 March 2012: -- Engineers for truck makers said they are comfortable with their approaches to meet 2014 and 2017 federal greenhouse-gas and fuel-mileage standards for heavy- and medium-duty trucks... Speaking at the Technology and Maintenance Council annual meeting here, the engineers said the rule from the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration obligates them to document mileage claims with a lot of detailed testing, but manufacturers can also use EPA’s system of averaged, banked and traded credits to comply, if necessary... The standards, announced in August, will save 530 million barrels of oil and 270 million metric tons of emissions over five years, the government estimates... Specifics differ based on type of vehicle, but EPA estimates the reduction in greenhouse gases range between 10% for low- and mid-roof tractors to 23% for a high-roof Class 8 sleeper...* UK - B & K Boilers halves fuel costs with FleetMatics GPS
