High-Efficiency Vehicles and Ownership Models Survey The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration will be issuing draft rules on medium to heavy-duty vehicle standards later this spring. These standards are aimed at bringing significant additional fuel economy improvements by 2025. CALSTART is working with NAFA to obtain your feedback on the benefits and operational requirements of instituting these changes. Additionally, we would like to determine the inputs for an effective total cost of ownership (TCO) model that would adequately capture all costs associated with technologies capable of achieving these fuel economy improvements. All contact info and survey responses will remain confidential, we will only publish aggregated results and data in a final report to support these strong emission standards. If you have any questions, concerns or would like to follow-up with CALSTART please contact Ted Bloch-Rubin at 626-744-5655 or tbloch-rubin@calstart.org. Question Title * 1.
