Large commercial trucks and other heavy equipment have run on diesel fuel for many decades now. Requirements for more aggressive emission after-treatment and the hardware to achieve that add cost and complexity for fleet operators. But today, heavy trucks remain a diesel world. That’s about to change. Driving style also matters.
