T-1B1b-TE-5 - Ecodriving of heavy trucks

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

A truck's speed has a major impact on its fuel consumption and emissions - both at lower and higher speeds.The effect becomes more pronounced at higher speeds. Reducing a truck's cruising speed from 55 to 50 mph can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 15 percent.Reduced speed not only helps reduce emissions but also improves road safety.
