Can Trucks Deliver a Cleaner Tomorrow?

The American Truck Association is making six recommendations aimed at scaling back fuel consumption. The six point plan forms a solid foundation to reduce the overall fuel consumption of the American economy. Some of these recommendations will spill over to the automobile industry.

The plan calls for a reduction of 86 billion gallons of gasoline  and 900 million tons of CO2 over a 10 year period.

The plan calls for a governor to limit speeds on all trucks to 68MPH. The plan calls for action to reduce the national speed limit to 65 MPH.

Look for this plan to pick up steam in the wake of $4.00 gas prices.
