Environmental Impact Statement
Environmental Impact Statement for New Medium and Heavy
Duty Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Improvement Program Standard
Action!
Notice of intent; request for scoping comments.!
Summary!
NHTSA plans to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential environmental
impacts of new fuel efficiency standards for commercial medium- and heavy-duty on-highway vehicles and
work trucks (potentially covering engines, chassis, vehicles, and/or trailers manufactured after model year
2018) that will be proposed by the agency pursuant to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
This document initiates the scoping process for determining the scope of issues to be addressed in the EIS
and for identifying the significant environmental issues related to the proposed action. Further, it discusses
cooperating agencies, the environmental review process, and the agency's tentative planning and decision-making
schedule. NHTSA invites the participation of Federal, State, and local agencies, Indian tribes,
stakeholders, and the public in this process to help identify the significant issues and reasonable alternatives
to be examined in the EIS, and to eliminate from detailed study the issues that are not significant.

1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic
May 2014 amendment approved
The amendment agreed last month by the U.N. Working
Party on Road Traffic Safety would allow a car to drive itself,
as long as the system "can be overridden or switched off by
the driver". A driver must be present and able to take the
wheel at any time.
Provided the amendment clears all bureaucratic hurdles, all
72 countries that are party to the convention would have to
work the new rules into their laws. The convention covers
European countries, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Russia,
although not the United States, Japan or China.

Dutch Trucks Will
Drive Themselves
By Philip E. Ross
Posted 17 Jun 2014
The Netherlands has just announced a five-year plan to make the country safe for
autonomous vehicles and vice-versa, with a particular emphasis on trucks. Rules of the road
will be redrafted, infrastructure built, and research funded.
The country thus joins a stampede that, like so many automotive fashions, began in
California, with the unveiling of the Google Car. Nevada joined the charge early, and
Michigan was quick off the mark too, the city of Ann Arbor having just established a center
for autonomous driving. Sweden's Gothenburg, home of Volvo, is doing much the same.
One thing Holland has that few other countries can match is a compact territory coupled to
an enormous transportation hub, which boasts Europe's busiest air, sea and land links. And
trucks seem to be a particularly good match because of their role in the container shipping
model, which has transformed the world economy.
Trucks are, in fact, the last link in the chain connecting production to consumption that
remains fully under the control of a mere human being. Here's how it works: A robot at a
factory in Japan loads a standard container with refrigerators, say, bolts it shut, and places it
on a flatbed truck. The truck takes the box to the most convenient seaport, where a robotic
crane hoists the box onto a ship, where it fits a perfectly matching space in the hold. The ship
—itself mostly robotic, with merely a skeleton crew—steams to the port city of Rotterdam,
where another robotic crane hoists the container onto another truck that takes it to a
retailer, say in Germany. There the box is unbolted and unloaded, again perhaps by robots.
And presto, all the refrigerators are still there; not one has "fallen off the back" of a truck.
That's basically why stuff has gotten so cheap and manufacturing jobs have become so
scarce. A robotic truck would thus merely complete what is already an almost all-robot
system.
The Dutch government says that the first tests will be simple computer simulations. The first
road tests will involve truck convoys, perhaps putting just the lead vehicle under the control
of a human driver. That test will be conducted by a research consortium including DAF, a
Dutch truckmaker, the Port of Rotterdam and Transport & Logistiek Nederland. "The
consortium wants to test autonomous lorries that drive in convoys. The aim of the
consortium is, within five years, to bring technology onto the market that logistics
companies with such lorries can use to drive on public roads."

Brute Force Is Sometimes the Option
This is the biggest load ever to be moved
in West Australia.
It weighed over 700 tons with four trucks towing and
two pushing it on the gravel. They were traveling at 4
Km’s per hour on the gravel reaching 6 km’s hour on
the bitumen. The distance to the new mine is 230 km’s.
They drove up to 15 hours a day, taking 6 days to reach
their destination ( including becoming bogged with
four front end loaders having trouble pulling them out)

Volume Based Pricing

Lube when Needed
The purpose of the system is reduce lube-related churning losses in the axle housing by
temporarily reducing lube levels under certain driving conditions.
The LogixDrive system uses an oil internal lubricant reservoir to store lube oil
when it's not needed to cool the axle shafts, crown and pinion gears etc. During
periods of high-stress operation, such as ascending or descending hills, the
reservoir opens, releasing several liters of lube into the axle housing to provide
the needed cooling.
With the reservoir full, about 5 liters of lube oil are
removed from the axle housing, lowering the fluid level
and reducing churning losses.
Additional lube oil can be drained from the reservoir
by a cab-mounted ECM and a cable release-drain. The
additional oil adds cooling and lubricating capacity
under heavily loaded operating conditions.

Stop—Start—It’s Coming
G.M. announced this week that it
would offer fuel-saving stop-start
technology in the 2015 Chevrolet
Impala sedan. G.M. said the
system, which shuts off the engine
when it would otherwise be idling,
would be available on cars
equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-
cylinder engine. The E.P.A. fuel-economy
estimate for the car is 22
miles per gallon in the city, 31
m.p.g. on the highway and 25
m.p.g. combined. (GM Authority)

Chrysler plans to offer its stop-start technology as
standard equipment on certain models of the ’15 Jeep
Cherokee SUV and Chrysler 200 midsize sedan, as the
automaker works to meet tightening U.S. fuel-economy
and carbon-dioxide rules.
Environmental Protection Agency mandates for 2014
calls for vehicle fleets to achieve 31.3 mpg (7.5 L/100
km), followed by 32.6 mpg (7.2 L/100 km) and 34.1
mpg (6.9 L/100 km) in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The Chrysler 200 equipped with the 2.4L Tigershark
inline 4-cyl. engine and Cherokee with the 3.2L
Pentastar V-6, will come standard with the fuel-saving
start-stop system.
The automaker says the two applications of the
technology in the 200 and Cherokee will reduce CO2
emissions by up to 3%. It will be added to the Cherokee
in the third-quarter and to the 200 in Q4.
First introduced in the Ram 1500 pickup, the
technology is based on a high-speed starter that reduces
crank time for quicker restarts. It’s activated by
algorithms that act on a vehicle’s powertrain and
chassis components, the automaker says.
