Abstract:This Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) analyzes the environmental impacts of fuel efficiency standards and reasonable alternative standards for model years 2018 and beyond for medium- and heavy- duty engines and vehicles that NHTSA has proposed under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended. Environmental impacts analyzed in this Draft EIS include those related to fuel and energy use, air quality, and climate change. In developing the proposed Medium- and Heavy- Duty Fuel Efficiency Improvement Program, NHTSA sought to achieve the maximum feasible improvement in fuel efficiency, accounting for technological feasibility, appropriateness, and cost effectiveness, as well as relevant environmental and safety considerations. The proposal is consistent with President Obama's directive to improve the fuel efficiency of and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from model year 2018 and beyond medium- and heavy- duty vehicles through coordinated Federal standards.
