Cummins and Peterbilt to Team Up on SuperTruck II

Cummins and Peterbilt teamed together for SuperTruck I, first demonstrating more than 50 percent BTE and analytically defining technologies needed to achieve 55 percent BTE. Their demonstration tractor-trailer averaged a 76 percent increase in drive cycle FTE and a 43 percent reduction in GHG emissions versus a 2009 baseline truck — all significant improvements. As evidence of the favorable market impact that DOE partnered research and development continues to have, many of the engine and drivetrain efficiency improvements and vehicle power demand reductions pioneered in SuperTruck I are headed for production with the latest model year 2017 product offerings?by Cummins, Peterbilt and its key product delivery partners.
