| Abstract | Research on the feasibility of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) retrofits for heavy trucks in this report includes an estimate of the total number of buses and trucks in the U.S. fleet (class 3 to 8), an engineering analysis of three installation configurations to support retrofits of nearly all of the vehicles in the fleet, cost estimates for the V2V technologies and the installation of each of the three configurations across four volume estimates, and total cost estimates of retrofitting nearly the entire fleet using three scenarios based on different distributions of the three installation configurations. The lowest estimated cost per vehicle for the V2V technology and its installation was approximately $450 to $550, based on volume estimates of 10 million and 1 million, respectively. The total costs of retrofitting nearly the entire fleet of class 3 to 8 vehicles ranged from $5.5 billion to $8.5 billion. |
