TruckingThe impetus for change in the trucking sector has never been greater.  Today’s high fuel prices, greater regulatory pressure and increased attention to climate change are creating a strong strategic and business rationale for increased efficiency of truck transportation.

Heavy trucks use over 18 percent of of all U.S. oil -- or 3.8 million of barrels a day!  The average long-haul truck gets only 6 miles per gallon. Yet, tractors and trailers have not changed significantly in the past 20 years.

Creating a more efficient truck and freight industry is key in MOVE’s strategy to remove our dependence on oil.  (See Winning the Oil Endgame)

The MOVE team works actively within the trucking sector in research and consulting to help clients find efficiency solutions. Partners include:

Previous projects include work with Wal-Mart, Logistics Management Incorporated and the Canadian Trucking Alliance.

Trucking Freight StreamlinedThe Future of Trucking

MOVE’s vision of the next decade of truck development is a radical shift to more cargo being moved with less fuel.

To do this:

By combining these four important steps with improved engines and hybrid technologies, trucks that deliver freight at half or even one-third the environmental impact will not only be possible, they will be profitable.

MOVE also works in the wider freight industry to optimize the delivery of cargo across multiple modes of transportation.
