Suppliers form fuel-efficiency lobby committee
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — A group of North American truck and component manufacturers has formed a council to communicate with government on energy efficiency technology initiatives.
The Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association says its Strategic Energy Council will be made up of HDMA member executives representing heavy-duty suppliers to OEM truck and trailer manufacturers that are involved in the development of energy-efficient technologies, lightweight materials, and other products that contribute to the reduced consumption of fuel.
The goal of this coalition is to work with Congress to provide tax incentives, grants and rebates to encourage the development and adoption of energy efficient technologies for both OEM and aftermarket commercial vehicles.
