| This report examines existing and emerging commercial vehicle fuel efficiency technologies and the market and legislative influences that are driving developments in the sector.
With fuel costs now significantly higher than they were only a few years ago, increasing global oil demand and growing concern regarding greenhouse gas emissions, the transportation industry is coming under increasing pressure to improve fuel efficiency. Fuel consumption has always been a significant cost for truck and bus operators and has increased during recent years. With this in mind, OEMs and suppliers are continuing to pursue improved engine efficiency through the use of numerous technologies, including high pressure fuel injection, advanced supercharging, hybridisation and efficient ancillaries. Complementing these are advances in transmission efficiency, aerodynamics, weight reduction, reduced tyre rolling resistance and a raft of technologies as diverse as the use of telematics for route optimisation and electricity generation through exhaust heat retrieval.
