Freight movement has become an important economic factor in the ever-?increasing international trade and global supply chain. In the United States, approximately 70% of freight is moved by commercial trucks. In typical commercial trucking operations, fuel costs are usually one of the largest expenses, accounting for about 30% to 40% of the total operating cost. Not only do freight trucks consume a large amount of fuel, they also produce a significant amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) and criteria pollutant emissions, about 22% of the U.S. GHG emissions from transportation sector. Therefore, both the trucking industry and government agencies have good reasons to improve fuel efficiency and reduce GHG emissions from trucking operations.
