Microsoft Word - Freight Project Methodology Draft - 2015-03-10.docx
The document outlines a technical framework for calculating fuel use across various truck types—including tractor-trailers, straight trucks, and cargo vans—using data from the Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) and the Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey (VIUS). It establishes baseline fuel economies (e.g., 5.8 mpg for tractor-trailers) and projects improvements by 2025 based on technology packages such as aerodynamic devices and hybrid-electric powertrains. Additionally, it applies these methodologies to estimate the current fuel use and future savings for the fleets of UPS, FedEx, PepsiCo, The Coca-Cola Company, and Walmart.
