Key recommendations of the book include that the 21CTP should be continued, but the future program should be revised and better balanced. A clearer goal setting strategy should be developed, and the goals should be clearly stated in measurable engineering terms and reviewed periodically so as to be based on the available funds.TrucksEnergy consumptionUnited StatesTrucksEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesTrucksFuel consumptionTrucksPollution control devicesTrucksEnergy consumptionTrucksEnvironmental aspectsTrucksFuel consumption.TrucksPollution control devices.363.731National Research Council (U.S.)National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Energy and Environmental Systems.National Research Council (U.S.).Committee to Review the 21st Century Truck Partnership.National Research Council (U.S.).Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826409503321Review of the 21st Century Truck Partnership4057685UNINA
