Research and analysis on the problem of energy conservation in the operation of tractor-trailers was reviewed. Two approaches are emphasized: design improvements on the vehicle itself, and policies or dashboard instrumentation which result in a more efficient use of the vehicle. Evidence is presented to show that immediate and significant reductions in fuel consumption are possible merely by instigating more efficient driving practices, e.g., speed laws, and governors on engines.
