MOVES 4.0 Updates for the Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC)

This project employs the outputs from MOVES-Matrix 4.0 to generate a data set that can be employed by users of the 2018 Fuel and Emissions Calculator (Version 3.0) to update energy use and emission rates to reflect the latest outputs from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA’s) MOVES 4.0 energy use and emission rate model for the Atlanta, Georgia summer scenario. The data employed in this project were generated as part of the National Center for Sustainable Transportation project entitled MOVES-Matrix 4.0 for High-Performance On-road Energy Use and Emission Rate Modeling Applications (Lu, et al., 2025). As described in this report, the team queried more than 90 billion cells within full MOVES-Matrix 4.0 data set to generate MOVES 4.0 data that can be substituted for the older MOVES 2014 data in Fuel and Emissions Calculator (FEC) Version 3.0 for Georgia. The query output data are contained in an Excel spreadsheet, allowing users to update their personal copies of the FEC. Should technology transfer funds become available in 2025 from another source, the research team will update and release the next full version of the FEC model, which will be accompanied by an updated user manual.
