That line is a little misleading. He's not saying a 2012 truck vs a 2019 truck gives you a 33% improvement. He's say the average truck on the road in 2012 was getting 33% less economy than a new one in 2019. The average truck on the road in 2012 might have been a 1995 for all we know because he's playing word games. I'm sure it's better comparing a 2019 to a 2012 truck but not 33% better.
