Fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions standards proposed for heavy-duty vehicles

Demand for distillate fuel oil, mainly diesel fuel, is experiencing strong growth both globally and in the United States.  Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) in the United States used about 2 million barrels per day of diesel fuel in 2009.  In November 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly issued a proposed rulemaking that would establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel consumption standards for HDVs.  The proposed GHG standards are mandatory beginning in model year (MY) 2014 while fuel consumption standards would be voluntary in MY 2014.  The standards address three discrete HDV categories: combination tractors, heavy-duty pickups and vans, and vocational vehicles, such as garbage and dump trucks.
