LeaseQ Agrees the Latest Round of Greenhouse Gas Rules Could Increase the Cost of Truck Acquisition and Maintenance
Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 11, 2014 -- Operators and owners stand to save at least $50 billion in fuel costs now that model 2019 will take effect immediately. The current GHG standards are phasing in 2014-2018 standards. Truck manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to install new features into their vehicles and they include:
1. Idle reduction technologies
2. Efficient driveline components which reduce friction
3. Enhanced engine electronics
4. Weight reduction of trailers and trucks and low rolling resistance tires
Given the high cost of initial acquisition of heavy duty trucks, leasing remains a feasible way of reducing overall costs.

As reported on February 18, 2014 by The New York Times, President Barack Obama ordered his staff to come up with a rule to tighten greenhouse emissions by medium duty trucks and heavy duty ones by March 2015 while speaking in Maryland at Safeway Inc. distribution center on Feb 18. During his speech, he suggested that clean vehicle manufacturers and fuel stop operators who sell clean fuel will be offered tax credits.
LeaseQ Founder and CEO, Vernon Tirey, says, “This is very good news for the trucking industry. The improvements being put in place will improve the fuel economy. Despite the high equipment acquisition costs, our online leasing platform will help reduce the cost of acquisition for many trucking companies.”
Many truck manufacturers such as Volvo Trucks and Daimler Trucks North America support the additional GHG emissions standards because of their overall benefits and significant savings.
