This achieving these goals with commercially viable products and increased demand has resulted in a rapid rise in oil prices systems." The vision of the Partnership is "that our nation's even though production capacity has kept pace with demand trucks and buses will safely and cost-effectively move larger and is expected to exceed demand in 2009. With the United volumes of freight and greater numbers of passengers while States being very dependent on imported oil, this increase emitting little or no pollution and dramatically reducing the in price has put a strain on the U.S.

In its review, the committee Overall Report Finding 1-1. The key benefit of the 21CTP will critically examine and comment on the overall adequacy is the coordination of research programs directed toward the and balance of the 21st Century Truck Partnership to accom- goal of reducing fuel usage and emissions while increas plish its goals, on progress in the program, and make recom ing heavy vehicle safety.

Instead, each of 50 percent thermal efficiency at the peak efficiency condition the four agencies has its own stream of funds. DOE, DOT, as well as at a representative 65-mph road load engine speed DOD, and EPA budget and optimize funding based on their and torque condition.

Despite the stration of the 50 percent thermal efficiency goal before promising progress, significant hurdles still remain to achievembarking on the 55 percent goal. With respect to ongoing ing the fuel economy improvement targets for a broader work on low-temperature combustion, DOE should objec- range of heavy-duty hybrid vehicle (HHV)

end of 2009, and there are not established engineering test procedures, DOE should work with EPA and stakeholders to Recommendation 6-1. The 21CTP should continue to accelerate the development of fuel economy and emissions support R&D for the technologies that reduce idle time certification procedures for heavy-duty hybrid vehicles so and address the remaining technical challenges (including that the actual benefits of hybridization can be recognized California emission requirements, completely integrated and rewarded to further encourage commercial adoption.
