Abstract
Major attempts will be taken in the short-, mid-, and long-term
future in order to cope with the future legal requirements but also
to reduce fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles.
The paper describes concepts and ways to improve efficiency and
reduce CO2 emissions of medium- and heavy-duty trucks even in long
haul operation. A short-, mid-, and long-term perspective is given
applying continuous improvement using known technologies,
introducing downsizing and downspeeding in combination with
electrification of the powertrain, and finally applying a secondary
process to the conventional and improved combustion engine.
