Wednesday, August 12, 2009 |
PORTLAND, Ore. - Daimler Trucks North America today announced pricing
for meeting EPA2010 standards with its Detroit Diesel(r) BlueTec(tm) or
Cummins mid-range engine emissions technologies.
Emissions technology surcharges for vehicles equipped with Detroit
Diesel DD15 and DD16 big bore engines, as well as the medium bore DD13,

vehicles equipped with the Cummins ISC8.3 engine, and a $6,700 surcharge

catalytic reduction (SCR) which has been proven to significantly improve
fuel economy compared to EPA 2007 engines while reducing long-term
operating costs and meeting the stringent, near-zero emission standards
set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that take effect

 | | We partnered with FedEx to build hybrid-electric delivery trucks. FedEx used incentive funding to build them. | | |
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) enables fleets that purchase hybrid trucks to receive a tax credit based on their fuel economy gains. The Internal Revenue Service issued guidance for the medium- and heavy-duty truck sector and we're in the process of determining the requirements for it.
Administering Entity
Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
Program Goals
Offer businesses federal tax credits for purchasing hybrid electric vehicles
Eligibility
US corporate taxpayers who buy or lease qualifying vehicles
Funds available
The bill provides tax credits for a portion of the incremental cost over a comparable, non-hybrid model according to the truck's fuel economy improvement.
Fuel economy improvement of 30-40% is eligible for a tax credit of 20% of incremental cost.
Fuel economy improvement of 40-50% is eligible for a tax credit of 30% of incremental cost.
Fuel economy improvement of greater than 50% is eligible for a tax credit of 40% of incremental cost.
Incremental cost is capped at $7,500 for vehicles between 8,501 and 14,000 lbs, $15,000 for vehicles with GVW ... More

Our Summarized Response to International Truck
and Engine Corporation’s Advertising Claims
INTRODUCTION
Recently, International initiated an industry-wide campaign to attempt to convince our
customers that their truck is both more aerodynamic and fuel efficient overall. Our response to
this claim is summarized below.
OUR WIND TUNNEL TESTING AND VALIDATION
International claims that our wind tunnel tests are invalid because we do not test a full tractortrailer.
However, extensive industry testing and computer modeling has shown that the drag
from a trailer’s tail end, or wake, is very similar no matter what tractor is towing the trailer.
International itself only tested with a 28-foot trailer, not a 53-foot trailer. If matching the tractor
aerodynamics with the trailer’s wake is as important as they claim, how could they legitimately
test with such a small trailer? Extensive tests have proven that there is no material effect
between tractor aerodynamics and trailer wake.
Auto Research Center (ARC)
International also questioned the credibility of the Auto Research Center ... More
