Compared to light-duty vehicles like vans, SUVs, and pick-up trucks, medium and
heavy-duty trucks get terrible fuel economy.
However, legislation in this 2015 may potentially improve that issue while also
reducing the output of harmful emissions.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have brought together the potential standards with the help of suggestions from a few third-
party organizations.
While on the highway, I only see black smokes from two types of vehicles: the
larger 18-wheeler types and older model vehicles that should have already been
retired.
It seems nice that environmental laws will catch up with legislation already made for
light-duty trucks.
Even if it might require an investment ahead of time, those who purchase medium and heavy-duty trucks will benefit in the fuel
economy.
Recognition that incompatibilities will likely arise brings even more interested third-
parties into the discussions.
That includes a reason why the legislation will affect medium and heavy duty trucks in
2021 to 2027.
It controls where most of the weight resides on a truck’s tires, depending on which
rubber meets the most weight.
The efficiency results in less degradation of the tires, which means fewer replacements, and the mileage per gallon ratio improves to
as much as 9 MPG.
Not only will greenhouse gases become reduced, but diesel fuel will become longer
lasting for newer vehicle models.
