Abstract:

Snowplows use substantial amounts of fuel to keep Minnesota’s winter roads safe and accessible. MnDOT spends over $2 million on diesel fuel annually for plowing operations. Reducing vehicle fuel consumption, in addition to cost savings, would help MnDOT meet its sustainability goal to achieve a 30% reduction in greenhouse gases (GHG) from 2005 levels by 2025. The transportation sector generally accounts for one-third of total GHG emissions, and medium- and heavy-duty trucks account for a large portion.
