| Description |
The Energy Department is announcing up to $137 million in investments for two programs to develop next generation technologies that will support industry in going beyond those standards while also accelerating technology advances for passenger cars and light trucks. One initiative, SuperTruck II, will fund four projects to develop and demonstrate cost-effective technologies that more than double the freight efficiency of Class 8 trucks, commonly known as 18-wheelers. In 2010, the Energy Department launched the SuperTruck initiative to improve heavy-duty truck freight efficiency by 50 percent. |
