Land based heavy duty vehicle efficiency at the ETI

The ETI land HDV efficiency programme has modelled a range of technologies to achieve an average 18% energy efficiency across 7 land HDVs archetypes (both Off Highway and On Highway). This insight report details the data and findings from this programme, including the demonstration CAT AT725 demonstration vehicle which establishes the cost effective and practical viability of up to a 28% reduction in fuel consumption.

The results from this programme suggest that the 2025 EU HGV GHG reduction target is feasible, albeit challenging. It is hoped that the research will continue to influence the powertrain of off-highway equipment manufacturers like Caterpillar.
