What it boils down to is a requirement to reduce fuel consumption by 7-20% from 2014-2017 and another 15-27% from 2021 to 2027. The specific requirements depend on vehicle class (based on GVW) and type (Daycab vs Sleeper and low, mid, or high roof)

Fascinating. While I knew a lot of what you posted about cars, I never really had a handle on the legislative side of heavy truck emissions. Ironic since I drive trucks. I can say the Csacadia P4 has done a lot for mileage compared to my 2016 Evolution, but there’s some apples-to-oranges which make comparing the two a bit murky, eg. Eaton 10-speed manual vs. DT12 AMT, etc.
