Moving Efficiently: Improving How We Transport Goods in America Glen P. Kedzie Vice President, Energy & Environmental Counsel American Trucking Associations

 In 2012 (last full year of available data), trucking consumed 52.8 billion gallons of fuel:  37.9 billion gallons of diesel (72%)  14.9 billion gallons of gasoline (28%) Trucks Use a Lot of Fuel

On-Highway Historic Diesel Fuel Prices

Trucking’s Diesel Fuel Bill  Annual diesel costs were $87 billion (2009); $109 billion (2010); $143 billion (2011); $156 billion (2012); $149.5 (2013)  1¢ diesel  increase = $350 - $375 million in added fuel costs to industry  At 2012 average price of $3.97, 1¢ diesel  would cost the industry $380 million

ATRI’s Carrier Operational Costs Per Mile: (Fuel 39%; Labor 32%)

Diesel Price “Spiking” Intensifying!  The number of times the week-to-week change in the national retail diesel price exceeded 5¢ (up or down) 1990s: 1 time in 302 weeks (0.3%)  2000s: 95 times in 521 weeks (18.2%)  2010s: 42 times in 186 weeks (22.5%)

Heavy-Duty Fuel Demand Through 2040

ATA’s Sustainability Plan  10-year commitment from entire industry to further reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions  Program includes 6 key pillars

Greening the Industry  Set national speed limit of 65 mph for all vehicles and govern truck speeds at 65 mph for trucks manufactured after 1992  Reduce congestion through highway improvements  Promote more productive truck combinations  Support truck fuel economy standards that are technologically and economically feasible  Decrease idling  Increase fuel efficiency through SmartWay

ATA Is Strong Supporter of EPA SmartWay Program

Since 2004, SmartWay Partners Saved…  51.6 million metric tons of CO2  738,000 tons NOx  37,000 tons PM  121 million barrels of oil  5 billion gallons of fuel  $17 billion dollars in fuel costs

ATA Supported EPA/NHTSA Phase I Rule ATA was an original EPA SmartWay Charter Partner in 2004 when program was officially unveiled Largely based upon EPA’s SmartWay program and industry practices

Where Does ATA Stand on Phase II?
