... The Partnership has not accepted a 40 percent stretch goal and has put the greatest part of its effort into the SuperTruck Response to Recommendations from NRC Phase 2 Review program. This program is focused on an idealized tractor trailer combination rather than a real-world mix of tractors R5-1 NRC Phase 2 Recommendation 5-1.

Of significance is be reduced with reductions in tire rolling resistance, the the statement, "use good engineering judgment to simulate limits to such reductions must be carefully weighed against all engine work inputs and outputs as they typically would tire traction and the ability of vehicles to attain safe stop- operate in use." This statement leaves open to estimates and ping distances.
