This project examines the potential for zero-emission and near-zero emission truck technologies from both economic and environmental perspectives, focusing on their use in short-haul drayage service.
The researchers use Eco-Friendly Intelligent Transportation Systems (ECO-ITS) to log real-time vehicle and engine/after treatment data to accurately establish truck baseline fuel consumption and emissions and quantify fuel and emission savings.
In this project, the researchers will develop a methodology to reduce freight system inefficiencies by incorporating a centrally coordinated load balancing system.
This project discusses UC Riverside's new Center for Renewable Natural Gas. It also covers the potential, production, and use of renewable natural gas as a vehicle fuel.
