REVISED PROJECTIONS OF FUEL ECONOMY AND TECHNOLOGY FOR HIGHWAY VEHICLES. FINAL REPORT

In earlier work performed for the DOE, EEA has analyzed technological trends in cars, light-duty trucks (LDT), and heavy-duty trucks (HDT). The technological analysis was used to forecast fuel economy for the three vehicle classes. In this report, EEA has updated both the methodology used to forecast fuel economy as well as the technological and tooling plan data central to the derivation of the forecast for all those vehicle classes. Forecasts were prepared for a scenario where oil prices stay flat through 1985 (in current real dollars) and increase at the rate of two % per year in the 1985 to 1995 period. This report also documents EEA's estimates of the mix of vehicles sold and projections for diesel penetration.
