21CTP Partnership Members & Vision The 21st Century Truck Partnership (21CTP) brings together four federal agencies (DOE, EPA, DOT, DOD) and fifteen heavy-duty OEM and supplier partners with the common goals of making trucks and buses safer, cleaner, and more efficient. VISION: Our nation's trucks and buses will safely and cost-effectively move larger volumes of freight and greater numbers of passengers and emit little or no pollution while dramatically reducing our dependency on foreign oil. eere.energy.gov

Historical Trend in Emissions from New Diesel Engines “We have been working with DOE on clean engine technology for the past 20 years. In fact, many of the technologies used in our engines today were developed in partnership with the DOE, our national labs, universities and other research institutions.“ – Tim Solso, Cummins Chairman and CEO, June 2010. eere.energy.gov

Aerodynamic Trailer Project
• Navistar, Frito Lay, Kentucky Trailer, Freight Wing, Michelin and the DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were awarded $1 million to bring to market a tractor-trailer combination and tire package that can reduce the fuel consumption of the combination vehicle by at least 15 percent. • The team will evaluate the benefits of the new technology package through real-world use and then make the fuelefficient technology package available for sale.
