Quote:
The primary goal of SuperTruck II is to show a 100% freight-efficiency improvement in a tractor-trailer combination by either doubling the amount of freight that can be hauled with the same amount of fuel, or cutting fuel use 50%, in a representative customer drive cycle over a 2009 baseline, according to DOE.
