New U.S. fuel economy standards are coming for commercial vehicles, and your fleet will look much different as a result. President Barack Obama earlier this year called on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to create and issue new fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards for medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles by March 2016. This announcement increased the pressure on truck manufacturers to accelerate their efforts to squeeze more miles out of every gallon.
