Ask just about anyone in the truck industry how to improve emissions, reduce petroleum use and improve energy security. Nearly everyone will have an opinion and virtually no two opinions will be exactly the same. The

“Collaboration is key.” -Fred Silver, CALSTART amount of information on the subject is both amazingly diverse and widespread. That’s why, just two short years ago, the California Energy Commission (CEC), through the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program, established CalHEAT.

CalHEAT’s mission: Gather and analyze the information and develop a Technology Road Map for trucks to best meet the objectives of improving emissions, reducing petroleum use and improving energy security. Over the last two years, CalHEAT has been gathering, organizing and analyzing myriad information on the subject. “Collaboration is key,” says Fred Silver, Vice President, CALSTART, “as the stakeholders are many and the subject is, of course, very complex.” (Continued on pg. 6)
