Heavy duty transport research needs assessment

Technical Report · Fri Sep 13 00:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:5552528

As a result of the desire to decrease the dependence of the US on foreign petroleum as a transportation fuel, this report assesses the research needs to further develop heavy duty engines. The topics covered include diesel engines, alternative fuels, electric vehicle technology, gas turbine engines, and stirling cycle alternative engines. (GHH)
