Good morning. Welcome to today’s joint sub- committee hearing titled ‘‘Examining the Underlying Science and Impact of Glider Truck Regulations.’’ Today, we will learn about glider trucks and the lack of sound science underlying the regula- tions in this industry. For those who may not be familiar, a glider truck is a vehicle comprised of a newly constructed chassis, frame, and cab combined with a remanufactured engine and transmission system from an older vehicle, broadly speaking. In October 2016, Obama’s EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

IT’S HARD TO TELL Rolling down the road, it’s difficult to spot any differences between a Freightliner Glider and a new Freightliner truck. A Glider kit comes to you as a brand-new, complete assembly that includes the frame, cab, steer axle and wheels, plus a long list of standard equipment. Every Glider also comes with a loose parts box containing up to 160 parts — everything you need to get rolling. YOU PROVIDE WE PROVIDE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY 1 THE NEXT BEST THING TO A NEW TRUCK Designed, engineered and assembled alongside new Freightliner trucks, a Glider gives you everything a new truck offers except for two of the three main driveline components (engine, transmission and rear axle). You can either recapitalize any of these from your existing unit, or spec a factory-installed remanufactured engine or rear axle. BACKED BY A NEW TRUCK WARRANTY Unlike a used truck, every factory-installed component on a Glider is covered by Freightliner’s Warranty.

Academic Editor: Sergio Saponara Received: 8 May 2017; Accepted: 21 July 2017; Published: 17 August 2017 Abstract: Electric vehicles (EV), including Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), are becoming more commonplace in the transportation sector in recent times. As the present trend suggests, this mode of transport is likely to replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in the near future. Each of the main EV components has a number of technologies that are currently in use or can become prominent in the future. EVs can cause significant impacts on the environment, power system, and other related sectors. The present power system could face huge instabilities with enough EV penetration, but with proper management and coordination, EVs can be turned into a major contributor to the successful implementation of the smart grid concept.

  • SAB Testimony ICCT V2
    1225 I Street NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20005 +1 202.534.1600 www.theicct.org Testimony of Rachel Muncrief and John German on behalf of the International Council on Clean Transportation Before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board May 31, 2018 Washington Plaza Hotel, 10 Thomas Cir NW, Washington, DC A. Oral Testimony My name is Rachel Muncrief, and I direct the heavy-duty vehicles program and compliance and enforcement program of the International Council on Clean Transportation. I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering and have been working on vehicle emissions and efficiency policy in the United States for 15 years — 5 years at the ICCT and 10 years at the University of Houston, concluding my time in Houston as a research faculty and director of the university's diesel vehicle testing and research lab. John German is a Senior Fellow at ICCT, with primary focus on vehicle policy and powertrain technology. He started working on these issues in 1976 in response to the original CAFE standards, addressing these issues for about a decade each for Chrysler, EPA, Honda, and ICCT. Thank you for the opportunity to testify today. I would like to briefly address a few key technical issues raised in the SAB workgroup memo from May 18, 2018 concerning the 2025 light-duty vehicles GHG standards and the emission requirements for glider vehicles. We would like to state up front that we fully support the workgroup’s recommendations to move forward with an SAB review of these proposed actions. On the 2025 GHG standards: The agencies’ 2016 Technical Assessment updated their analyses, but still failed to consider a number of technology advances that are already in production or close to production, overestimated the cost of other technologies, and ignored benefits from features associated with efficiency technology that are desired by consumers.

  • Arizona Mayors' Letter of Support
    July 13th, 2021 The Honorable Kyrsten Sinema The Honorable Mark Kelly United States Senate United States Senate The Honorable Tom O’Halleran The Honorable Ann Kirkpatrick United State Congress United States Congress The Honorable Raúl M. Grijalva The Honorable Paul Gosar United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Andy Biggs The Honorable David Schweikert United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Ruben Gallego The Honorable Debbie Lesko United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Greg Stanton United States Congress Dear Members of the Arizona Congressional Delegation: As Mayors of cities and towns located along the potential Tucson-Phoenix-West Valley Amtrak route, we enthusiastically support Amtrak’s vision to bring passenger rail service to our communities. Frequent and reliable passenger rail service will expand economic opportunities and provide important regional connections between our cities and towns. We further support Amtrak’s reauthorization proposal to create a Corridor Development Program, which will help advance Amtrak’s planning, development and implementation of new corridor routes and improvements to existing routes. By funding this program through Amtrak’s National Network grant, Amtrak can make the initial capital investments necessary to get these new routes up and running. The grant will also cover the operating costs for the first several years, offering new services the ability to grow ridership and generate revenue. Amtrak has made clear its commitment to working in a collaborative manner with state and local partners to grow the national rail network, and we look forward to this partnership. In addition to Amtrak’s National Network grant, we also support increased funding for USDOT competitive grants, which can also support more passenger rail.

The primary objective of the report is to assess zero emission drivetrain technologies for on-road heavy-duty freight vehicles. More specifically, their CO2 reduction potential, the state of these technologies, their expected costs in case of a technology shift, the role of policies to promote these technologies, and greenhouse reduction scenarios for the European Union have been studied.
