Date published: Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Slides from presentation made by KG Duleep, President, H-D Systems, at the Commercial Vehicle Innovation Summit / USA 2011.
Topics covered include:
- Real world driving cycles even for long haul trucks have significant acceleration and braking due to traffic and due to rolling terrain
- The impact of aerodynamic improvements and tire improvements are typically much smaller than claimed in test track studies and by regulatory bodies
- Cost and benefit in the real world are also impacted by hedonic costs imposed by some technology.
