| Abstract | In April 1994, NHTSA issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rule Making (ANPRM) requesting information regarding light truck fuel economy capabilities for model years 1998 through 2006. Subsequently, in the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act for FY 1995, Congress requested that NHTSA perform a study addressing two key questions: (1) What are the unique capabilities, utility requirements, and uses of light trucks, (2) Do these consumer requirements and other regulatory requirements constrain the ability to improve light truck fuel economy. The principal findings of the study conducted for NHTSA by the Volpe Transportation Systems Center are contained in the report. |
