When we launched our HDV efficiency program we stated a belief that HDV carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by up to one-third. This next phase of the program aims to take us closer towards that end objective. It is critical that we develop technology solutions that are affordable for the industry and meet the needs of the customers.
