Of Energy And Transportation







The Federal Government Should

More Actively Promote Energy

Conservation By Heavy Trucks




Substantial energy savings are possible by im-
proving the fuel efficiency of trucks weighing
over 10,000 pounds. Truck manufacturers
and( motor carriers have done much to achieve
savings, but more could be realized with Fed-
eral Government help through the Voluntary
Truck and Bus Fuel Economy Program.

The program is based on the concept that eco-
nomic forces will drive voluntary conservation
efforts. Although this approach appears to be
working, the program can be made more ef-
fective.

This report identifies weaknesses in the pro-
gram and makes several recommendations to
strengthen it.
