This assessment of alternative fuels and the intercity trucking sector was jointly sponsored by two groups. Work related to near- and mid-term alternative fuels and general energy-conservation options was done under sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Energy as part of its Transportation Energy Conservation activities. Work on far-term alternative fuels was sponsored by the Ryder Program in Transportation of the University of Miami. The information presented is designed to accomplish three objectives: (1) provide energy- and alternative-fuels-technolog-oriented personnel with some basic understanding of the intercity trucking industry, its problems and achievements, and its accomplishments in energy conservation in general; (2) provide the intercity-trucking-industry-oriented reader with some basic understanding of the nature of alternative fuels, their production problems, and potential and possible mechanics of introduction into use; and (3) provide both groups with a rough overview of the status of alternative-fuels technology as applicable specifically to the high-speed diesel engine and tractor equipment presently in use. Recommendations are presented in the final section. (ERA citation 04:006106)
