Plug-in hybrid vehicles can reduce fleets’ carbon emissions as well as range anxiety. This analysis shows the positive impacts of proper PHEV use, and the negative environmental and financial consequences if your drivers aren’t plugging them in.
Vehicle weight relates directly to fuel economy. In today’s era of electrification, there is also a direct correlation between vehicle weight and battery range.
According to J.D. Power’s 2022 APEAL Study, the drop in satisfaction with fuel economy/range has contributed to a one-point decline in overall new vehicle satisfaction.
On top of the pandemic, supply chain shortage, and the distant danger of long-term inflation, the war in Ukraine has helped drive fuel prices skyward. Will it last? And what can be done about it?
A growing trend in second-stage manufacturing is light-weighting, which involves specifying lighter-weight materials to achieve an overall weight reduction to an upfitted vehicle. Specifying lighter-weight upfit materials decreases the vehicle’s curb weight, which, in turn, lowers operating costs by reducing fuel consumption and decreases emissions.
XStream Trucking's new TruckLabs company name reflects its expanding role in bringing new engineering solutions based on research and data to the North American trucking industry.
New York City looked at actual fuel economy of hybrids and non-hybrids and compared them to EPA ratings. It found that hybrids performed better than expected in fuel economy in comparison to the non-hybrids.
NHTSA and the EPA will increase the stringency of corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) and CO2 emissions standards by 1.5% each year through model-year 2026, as compared with previous standards that would have required about 5% annual increases.
