Near-zero Emissions Diesel Vehicles Increased 4% Over 2022

Engine Technology Forum

Gasoline, diesel, natural gas and propane continue to be the primary fuel and technology choices for U.S. commercial trucks, with the population of advanced technology near-zero emissions diesels increasing 4% over 2022.

From 2010 through 2030, this generation of diesels will save approximately 1.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, 130 billion gallons of fuel, yield a cumulative savings of 1 million tons of particulate matter and 18 million tons of nitrogen oxide emissions.
