Clean Cities Guide to Alternative Fuel and Advanced Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (Book): Clean Cities, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE)

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Today's fleets are increasingly interested in medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles that use alternative fuels or advanced technologies that can help reduce operating costs, meet emissions requirements, improve fleet sustainability, and support U.S. energy independence. Vehicle and engine manufacturers are responding to this interest with a wide range of options across a steadily growing number ofvehicle applications. This guide provides an overview of alternative fuel power systems?including engines, microturbines, electric motors, and fuel cells?and hybrid propulsion systems. The guide also offers a list of individual medium- and heavy-duty vehicle models listed by application, along with associated manufacturer contact information, fuel type(s), power source(s), and relatedinformation.
