Fuel Economy and Cost Estimates for Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) aim to develop sustainable, affordable and efficient technologies for transportation of goods and people. These offices seek to advance DOE investments in advanced transportation component technologies and powertrains that translate to the estimated potential vehicle-level fuel savings contained herein. As part of quantifying these benefits, we have been asked to take a three-decades-long view of the fuel-saving vehicle technologies that will likely be implemented in medium- and heavy-duty trucks. In this work, we focus on technologies funded by VTO and HFTO that we expect to see during this time frame. Simulation was carried out for more than 20 types of trucks, ranging from Class 2 (the smallest medium-duty trucks, which span from Class 2b–6) to Class 8 (the largest heavy-duty trucks, which span Classes 7 and 8). The output of this study provides the fuel consumption and estimated purchase prices for trucks that employ advanced technologies, where both types of output offer a vehicle-level perspective and estimated projections about the future of advanced-technology medium- and heavy-duty trucks, as well as cost and performance data pairs that can inform other advanced transportation studies.
