• Abstract:
  Reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions is becoming increasingly important in the ; United States, and new legislation can be expected in the near future that will affect trucks either ; directly or indirectly. This work is a qualitative examination of operational strategies for reducing ; fuel consumption from freight trucking, and also compares them with vehicular strategies. A focus is ; placed on who implements, benefits from, and pays for each strategy, and what type of trucking each ; strategy is applicable to.
