The primary objective of this study was to develop a framework for a joint government-industry research and development program to foster energy conservation in the heavy-duty trucking industry. Interviews were conducted with truck engine and vehicle manufacturers and a summary of the interviews is presented. Interviews were also conducted with the American Trucking Association and its Technical Advisory Group and a summary of those interviews is presented. Conclusions and recommendations are presented on the following: research and development goals and missions; cooperative programs; patent and policies proprietary issues; and awarding and funding of contracts. A technical paper on the future for truck and bus fuel economy is presented in an appendix. Also detailed results of the interviews are presented.
