Abstract This report accompanies the work performed by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in collaboration with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction technologies. Technologies are evaluated for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles for model years 2019 and beyond. Based on the list of technologies and configurations identified by SwRI, this report examines the costs of implementation in constant 2011 U.S. dollars in the areas of incremental retail prices and life cycle cost elements. Incremental retail prices are evaluated relative to the prices of the specific baseline technologies that would otherwise be used in the vehicles if the fuel efficiency and emissions reduction technologies were not implemented. These prices include the technology components as well as their installation and incorporation in the vehicle. These prices account for all costs associated with the manufacturers and suppliers’ production and sale of the technologies to the retail purchaser. The life cycle cost element examines the costs of using the technologies during the vehicles’ lifetimes and are intended to inform separate, full-scale, life-cycle analysis. This report provides the overall details of the costing methodology and findings of the study. Note: This report was subjected to external peer review per OMB guidelines for a Highly Influential Scientific Assessment (HISA). Material from the peer review process are publicly available in accompanying documents. 17. Key Words 18.
