The medium- and heavy-duty vehicle industry is changing rapidly with fleets adopting alternative fuels and advanced technologies to reduce petroleum use and comply with the 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards. Clean Cities has long maintained its Heavy-Duty Vehicle Search on the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC) Web site. This guide brings together an overview of alternative fuel power sources, including engines, microturbines, and fuel cells, and hybrid propulsion systems along with chassis compatible with the systems. The second half of the guide provides a brief overview of individual medium- and heavy-duty vehicles listed by application. We hope this guide will be helpful to public and private fleet managers who are searching for answers to reduce petroleum consumption and vehicle emissions.
