Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.
The Fundamentals of Medium/Heavy Duty Diesel Engines Tasksheet Manual, Second Edition, is designed to guide students to meet Master Truck Service Technology (MTST) Systems requirements for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Medium/Heavy Truck certification. Organized by ASE topic area, companion tasks are grouped together for more efficient completion and are clearly labeled with MTST task numbers, ASE priority levels, and CDX tasksheet numbers. This manual will assist students in demonstrating hands-on performance of the skills necessary for initial training in Medium/Heavy Truck Engine repair. It can also serve as a personal portfolio of documented experience for prospective employment. Key Features List of required materials and equipment for each task Critical safety considerations relevant to each task Time card feature allowing students to track the time they spend on each task Evaluation criteria with instructor sign-off for each task A correlation guide cross-referencing the tasks with their MTST task numbers
