Factors such as how close to full payload the trucks operate, whether they • Vehicle maintenance; run on the most efficient routes, and even driver training can • Optimization of packaging for goods to be shipped, to play a role in determining overall fleet fuel consumption. In increase the number of units per truckload; addition, regulations can directly affect fuel consumption • Load management optimization;1 by constraining or promoting technology implementation • Route optimization; and efficient operations.

As suggested in the The Partnership's response is quite positive, and while draft white paper on efficient operations, the DOT and DOE should conduct additional research and development devoted to it provides a plan to address the issue, a more thorough lit exploiting the potential for reduced fuel consumption. erature review was not included in the February 2013 white paper.
